ISLAMABAD:Minister for Energy Hammad Azhar has said the government is taking effective measures to completely bring an end the power shortage in the country.

In an interview with a private news channel, the Minister said the previous government of PML-N did not focus on power transmission that resulted in load shedding. He said the demand and supply of power has increased this year and the areas having high ratio of electricity pilferage or any technical issues would witness the shortfall.
