President PML-N and Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said the PML-N government under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif has taken revolutionary measures for development and progress in the country and elimination of poverty and unemployment. He said this while talking to parliamentarians from Faisalabad and Gujranwala divisions at Model Town on Saturday. Quaid PML-N Nawaz Sharif, Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq, federal minister Ahsan Iqbal, provincial ministers and PML-N leaders were present on the occasion.
Shahbaz said the credit for the CPEC goes to the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif. Under CPEC biggest coal-based power generation projects of the country have been installed. The Sahiwal coal power plant and the Port Qasim coal power projects are generating 2700MW of electricity and these projects were completed at the fast pace, he added. Apart from CPEC, Nawaz Sharif decided to install power projects from own resources and by taking decision in this regard in April 2015 he showed great political insight. After this decision, Punjab and federal governments installed gas-based projects of 3600MW. These projects were installed in Bhikki, Haveli Bahadur Shah and Baloki. Work on the fourth project of 1250MW is continuing at the fast pace and this project will be completed by the end of this year, he added.
He said apart from power projects under CPEC, the PML-N government has installed 5000MW power project from its own resources. On the other hand the Neelum-Jhelum power project was moving at the slow pace for the last 20 years. Nawaz Sharif started work at this project at the fast pace and this project was completed. This project of 985 MW cost 5 billion dollars, while we completed projects of 5000MW at the half cost of this project. He said the PML-N will get votes from Karachi to Torkham and the journey of development will continue.
