The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) power loadshedding conflict has escalated to a crisis level, prompting Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to announce his “very own” outage plan, gate-crash a grid station, and forcefully restore the power supply. This was reported by News on Wednesday.
Gandapur went to the Dera Ismail Khan (DI Khan) grid station to supervise the restoration of electricity as a significant step to address the problem.
CM Gandapur set a 12-hour load shedding duration for the occasion.
“Loadshedding won’t go longer than 12 hours in any place. To make sure the loadshedding schedule is being followed, assembly members had to stop by the grid stations in their respective regions, he advised.
CM Ali Amin Gandapur earlier criticized the federal government during a press conference for withholding about Rs1,600.
CM Ali Amin Gandapur earlier criticized the federal government in a press conference for withholding almost Rs1,600 billion in revenue and dues that were owed to the province government.
“The federal government said it needs some time to review the power system and asked for our support,” he stated. But the deadline that was provided to the Center is no longer valid. I attempted to get in touch with Awais Leghari, the Federal Minister of Energy (Power Division), but I got no response.”
He exhorted everyone to adopt and propagate his policy, saying, “This means you (the people) and we are free.” “As Wapda assets are created with our tax dollars and are our property, nobody should harm them.”
