CM orders 12-hour loadshedding on all KP feeders,
DI Khan; The loadshedding dispute between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and centre intensified on Wednesday as Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur entered a grid station in his hometown of Dera Ismail Khan and restored the power supply.
The firebrand KP CM also issued his own loadshedding schedule limited to 12 hours per day.
“We’ll not allow the loadshedding exceeding from 12 hours per day in any area. All the MNAs and MPAs should visit the grid stations in their areas and ensure the implementation of 12-hour loadshedding schedule,” said the chief minister.
Ali Amin Gandapur has slammed the federal government for the rampant electricity loadshedding in the province after protests erupted in major cities and towns on the third day of Eidul Azha amid ongoing heatwave.
The chief minister came down hard on the ruling PML-N, warning that if the issue of the unbridled power outages persisted he would be forced to take steps to halt electricity supply.
Gandapur also accused the WAPDA [Water And Power Development Authority] of unfair treatment towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He also insisted that no WAPDA assets were damaged.
The chief minister called upon all KP parliamentarians to convene at WAPDA grids to ensure uninterrupted electricity restoration [for their constituencies].
