| There will be a 30-minute power shutdown after every four hours from today (Monday) – amounting to a total of three hours a day – caretaker Minister for Water and Power Tariq Hameed told reporters after a meeting on Sunday. Caretaker Prime Minister Mohammedmian Soomro, who assured uninterrupted gas and oil supply to the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), chaired the meeting at Governor’s House here. The three-hour load shedding is considered a relief to the public already suffering from the continuous eight to 12 hours of load shedding in various parts of the country. |
