FAISALABAD: State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali on Saturday said there will be no load shedding during Sehr and Iftar timings in Ramazan.

Inaugurating 132-KV steam power grid station in Faisalabad, the minister said, “Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is taking keen interest for providing the maximum relief to people during Ramazan.”

“In this connection, the Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) distribution system was also being upgraded on war-footings after which people’s problems regarding electricity would be redressed,” he added.

He said, “FESCO had completed Steam Power grid station with an estimated cost of Rs 662 million in a record period of six months.” He also announced bonus equal to one month salary for employees over completion of the grid station.

The minister said, “Other provinces were not paying electricity bills but now they will have to pay bills if they wanted electricity.” He said, “The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had accepted the Supreme Court’s verdict regarding Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in Panama Case in letter and spirit.” He added, “Our opponents could neither prove anything wrong against us before the Supreme Court nor they would succeed before JIT.”

He said, “Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan is in habit to defame others by leveling false allegations but now we will not allow him to escape,” he said.

He said, “The PML-N believed in serving the masses and people would also vote and support the party in the next general elections due to its people-friendly and development-oriented policies.”
