Islamabad:The Power Division announced on Sunday that the loadshedding rate has been brought to zero across the country from May 1. The spokesperson of the Power Division said in a statement that uninterrupted power supply has been started across the country from Sunday. The power division has included more than 2500 megawatts of additional electricity to the system. It added that the ministry is working efficiently for uninterrupted power supply in all parts of the country.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed distribution companies against carrying out loadshedding during the three days of Eid ul Fitr and warned those who fail to implement the directive. The federal government has sought details on power generation and consumption during the Eid days.
“Directives have been issued to supply adequate fuel and gas to all power generation companies,” they said adding, that previously a shortage in the supply of fuel and gas to the power plants had led to load shedding in the country.
