ISLAMABAD: Federal State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali has said that K-Electric should increase production of electricity with immediate effect to end load shedding.
He went on to say that Sindh faced more load shedding because of 131 feeders facing line losses and that urban areas were facing six to seven hours while rural areas were facing eight to nine hours of load shedding. He added that the industries were facing four hours of load shedding.
The minister while claiming that there is no unannounced load shedding in the country, he added that the few areas facing load shedding was due to line losses.
However, PPP’s Fahmida Mirza contradicted the minister’s figures saying that he is wrong about his statistics and that Badin was facing 20 to 22 hours of load shedding.
