ISLAMABAD, June 04(ABC): Irked by prolonged outages, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday warned the top officials of the power ministry that they would be dismissed from service if the duration of loadsheding exceeds two hours a day.
As per the details, PM Shehbaz Sharif convened an emergency meeting to deliberate on the reasons behind the power outages across the country and measures to overcome the problem. Concerned ministers and top officials of the power division attended the huddle.
PM Shehbaz Sharif reprimanded the ministers and officials concerned over the ongoing prolonged loadshedding amid the sweltering weather in the country.
The power officials earned the prime minister’s anger when they told him that only two hours of loadshedding is being observed in the country.
“Over 10 hours of loadshedding is being carried out on a daily basis across the country. I am not ready to trust in your lie,” replied the prime minister.
“Loadshedding for more than two hours is not acceptable. Do whatever,” PM Shehbaz directed the officials.
Rejecting the explanations, the prime minister directed the ministers and officials to get the people rid of the trouble.
“People need relief from loadshedding,” the PM said, adding that there will be no compromise on it.
