Nawaz also responsible for power crisis

People’s Labour Bureau chairman Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmad said PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif cancelled various power projects of 40,000mw including Thar Coal in his regime. Addressing a ceremony of traders, he said the people were facing hardship due to the power crisis which was a fallout of wrong policies of the Musharraf government.
A commission should also be constituted on power to know who had worked for generation of electricity in the past.
A large number of CNG filling stations were allowed by the Musharraf government and if CNG had been used to generate electricity, people could not have been facing shortage of power, he added.
He said the quota of gas connections had been doubled and a divisional office of gas was being set up in the city to facilitate locals.
Ch Manzoor said a passport office would be functional in the city during the current month, adding that a grid station of 132kv would also start working in August.
