With temperature hovering around 40 degree Celsius, loadshedding has made lives miserable throughout the country.
With demonstrations being held over loadshedding in the interior of Sindh, where mercury in some districts has crossed 40C, and Punjab subjected to increasing outages, the government appears to have bent its mind to addressing the problem.
On Monday, the prime minister held yet another special meeting with a one-point agenda — how to keep loadshedding at a manageable level — following a similar huddle last Wednesday.
Water and Power Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Minister of State for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali, Information Minister Pervez Rashid and senior officials of the power ministry attended the meeting.
