No power cuts during Sehri, Iftar hours in Ramazan
Industrial sector will witness eight hours of power cuts.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News)- Federal government has devised load management plan for the holy month of Ramazan.
According to details available, there would be no load shedding during Sehri and Iftar hours. However, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will approve the final plan in this regard.
As per new recommendations, industrial sector will witness eight hours of power cuts. Under Ramazan load management plan, rural areas will witness as much as six hours of load shedding while there will be maximum of three hours of power cuts in urban areas.
Sources privy to development reveal that Ramazan load management plan would not be implemented in areas where electricity theft is a common routine.
On the other hand, power shortfall has soared once again to 4380MW owing to rise in demand and fall in production.
Yesterday, overall demand of electricity stood at 18530MW whereas production stood at 1414MW.
