As the nation suffers from the anguish of going without power for tens of hours in the blazing heat of July, Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik has vowed to end load shedding by the middle of the month.
Karachi and other major cities in Pakistan have experienced power outages for 12 to 14 hours as a result of Pakistan’s electrical shortage, which has reached 6,000 megawatts.
He claimed that the lack of water in dams is one of the main causes of electrical load-shedding, along with the rise in coal prices and the scarcity of LNG on the global market.
Instead of 9,500 MW of electricity, he claimed that just 5,000 MW were being produced.
According to Sharjeel Inam Memon, the minister of information for Sindh, K-Electric is not investing in the system; rather, it is simply profiting from Karachi.
The comment was made in response to Karachi’s frequent power outages and was intended to criticise the megacity’s power supply provider.
