Inequitable loadshedding: plan to set up more tent offices in other Punjab districts
Punjab Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation Malik Ahmad Ali has said that the provincial government is planning to set up 'tent offices' in other districts after the one at Minar-e-Pakistan continuing its protest to press the federal government for equitable loadshedding in all the provinces.
He alleged that inequitable loadshedding had destroyed the industrial sector in Punjab rendering hundred of thousands of people jobless.
Malik Ahmad Ali was speaking to the complainants visited him at an open Kutchehry held at Tent Office set up at Minar-e-Pakistan by the Punjab government. Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly Rana Mashahood Ahmad Khan and members of the national and provincial assemblies were also present on this occasion. Talking to people, the Minister said industry and agriculture kept the status of backbone in the economy of Punjab province and any damage to it was neither in the provincial nor in the national interest.
He alleged that the federal government had no interest in solving the issues faced by the masses. He questioned that despite heavy loadshedding how people had electricity bills of heavy amounts? He said that people of Punjab were well aware of conspiracies being hatched against Punjab. "It was 41st day since the tent office had been set up at Minar-e-Pakistan but the federal government had turned a deaf ear to this protest."
