PM Shehbaz Sharif directs zero loadshedding during Sehri and Iftar timings in Ramadan

ISLAMABAD: As the month of Ramadan is right around the corner, the Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif has issued directives regarding power cuts in the holy month. On Wednesday, Mr Sharif conveyed the message to the power ministry to assure that the electricity supply remains uninterrupted during Iftar and Sehri timings.

Power Minister Khurram Dastagir directed the power supply organisations to make sure of zero loadshedding at two important times of the day in Ramadan. The ministry of power in its statement said that there would be zero-load management before and after one hour of Sehr. The ministry has also directed the DISCOs to ensure power supply before an hour of Iftar and after three hours of Iftar. The plan has been formed by keeping the Taraweeh prayers in mind.

Furthermore, the power companies have also been directed to formulate special teams to address power-related issues during Ramazan at the division and sub-divisions level.
