Former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should take notice of severe loadshedding in Karachi.
In a letter written to the prime minister on Monday, Zardari said the Sindh government paid electricity charges amounting to Rs 2.4 billion to the federal government. “Sindh is experiencing loadshedding of 20 hours a day, and the federal government has not solved power issues in the province,” the letter read.
Zardari said he had raised issue of power outages in his meeting with the prime minister in May, adding that the provincial finance minister had also written a letter to the Ministry of Water and Power, asking them to address the problem. “Loadshedding has made the situation difficult for a common man in Ramadan,” he wrote. The PPP leader asked the federal government to address the issue of loadshedding as soon as possible.
