LAHORE: The PPP has criticised the PML-N government for failing to control electricity loadshedding, saying the people will experience the worst within next few days as the furnace oil stocks are dwindling fast.

“The major cities have been facing more than 16 hours power loadshedding. The farmers are facing a double jeopardy because their tube wells are lying dysfunctional, affecting the irrigation of their land and there are no chances of a good crop,” PPP Central Punjab president Mian Manzoor Wattoo said here on Sunday.

He said Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif used to boast that loadshedding of electricity would be controlled by his party government within months while using a hand fan at Minar-i-Pakistan.

PPP MPA Faiza Malik asked the chief minister to face the public and fulfill his promise on loadshedding of electricity. She said the PML-N government’s bad management was causing massive loadshedding.

“It seems the government is not sincere in addressing the issue,” she added
