Pakistan
PM Shehbaz government is making efforts to fix the problem of load-shedding.
ISLAMABAD (APP) - Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif said the current issue of load-shedding in the country was due to the policies of the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which failed to address the problem of electricity generation in its tenure, Dunya News reported on Monday.
“The PTI government neither purchased fuel in time nor repaired power plants. Hence the current load-shedding,” he said in a tweet.
