The federal minister criticised that some people tried to politicise the issue of electricity shortfall. He added that the government is overcoming the energy crisis and improvements will be seen in the electricity and gas system from Monday.

"In the next eight years, electricity projects for generating 26,000 megawatts are going to be completed." Hammad Azhar announced that the government will add 10,000 MW of power to the national grid.
