Gandapur warns federal govt over power supply issue
Pakistan
Accuses federation of taking revenge
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has alleged that the federal government is taking revenge from the people of the province for not supplying them with required electricity.
The CM said the province was experiencing worst power shutdowns, adding the federal government did not fulfill its commitment to provide the province with electricity as per its requirement.
Ali Amin Gandapur said the local Wapda officials were cooperating with the provincial government according to their capacity, but it is the federal government who has further reduced the power supply to the province.
There will be another round of talk with the federation to discuss power loadshedding. The provincial government is fully cooperating with Wapda on the issue of line losses, Ali Amin Gandapur said.
On the other hand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said the federal government was not fulfilling its commitment pertaining to power supply to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The KP CM said the federation is not fulfilling its commitment due to which complaints about increasing power outages were mounting.
Ali Amin Gandapur said urged the federal government to correct its attitude towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, otherwise the people of the province will take to streets fix its behaviour.
