We will end load shedding on a priority basis, Nawaz Sharif

Nawaz meets with energy experts from UAE to discuss Punjab's load shedding.

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Mian Nawaz Sharif has said that if the nation gives him a chance, then he would end load shedding on a priority basis as it has badly affected industries and the economy, Express News reported.

He made these remarks while meeting Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and a visiting delegation of energy experts from the United Arab Emirates in Model Town, Lahore. The energy experts presented their solutions to address Pakistan’s energy shortage standoff.

Mian Nawaz Sharif also said that without ending the load shedding standoff, the dream of development and prosperity cannot be realized.

His remarks come only days after his party's provincial government was criticized by former Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi to have spent public money on wasteful projects, rather than on initiatives such as the Sialkot motorway and providing resources and staff to the Wazirabad hospital.
