ISLAMABAD: Concrete measures were being underway to decrease the current level of loadshedding in the country to reduce it upto only 10 to 15 per cent, said Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khurshid Shah on Thursday.
Speaking on a point of order in National Assembly he said, up to 20,000 mw electricity would be produced from Thar coal project for next several years.
Work on Bhasha, Kohala, Neelum-Jhelum, Satpara and Gonal Zam would continue as well.
He lamented that projects to produce 25,000 mws were initiated in 1997 by former chairperson Pakistan Peoples Party, Benazir Bhutto but were ended abruptly by the successive government. He urged Supreme Court to take suo moto action for this crime against the nation. PPP was ready to present documentary proves in that regard, he added.
