ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar on Tuesday said that unscheduled load shedding, both for industrial and domestic consumers, has ended after improving power generation.
He was talking to a delegation of Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who called on him along with MNA Khawaja Asif.
The minister said that electricity issues of export oriented industry of Sialkot would be resolved on priority and efforts would be made for smooth power supply to the industry for maximum duration.
He said that due to canal closure the gap between demand and supply had widened. However, the demand-supply gap is being managed through maximum generation from thermal plants.
Qamar also directed CEO of Gujranwala Electric Supply Company to visit Sialkot Chamber and finalize load management plan.
He also asked Sialkot Chamber to identify the names of industrial dominated feeders so that proper arrangements may be made to provide them uninterrupted power supply.
Earlier, President, Sialkot Chamber of Commerce, Naeem Anwar Qureshi said that Sialkot was facing problems due to power outages and asked the Minister to resolve it on priority so that they may be able to complete their export consignments timely to earn foreign exchange for the country.
