19 Apr, 2018

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that economic activities have increased due to sufficient reduction in loadshedding and terrorism; similarly, sufficient improvements have been witnessed in trade and investment sectors. He expressed these views while talking to Governor Sindh Muhammad Zubair, Federal Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq, Minister of State for National Food Security and Research Saeed Ayaz Ali Sherazi and office-bearers of PML-N Sindh who called on him here on Wednesday.
The CM further said that energy crisis has almost been controlled and the time is not far when loadshedding will become a thing of the past. "Due to sufficient decrease in loadshedding, economic activities have boosted in Karachi and other parts of the country. The duration of electricity supply to industrial sector has increased," he added.
According to him, law and order was a chronic problem in Karachi but due to the efforts and sacrifices of Pak Army and other law enforcement agencies, peace has been restored there. The credit goes to the PML-N government that has dedicatedly worked to overcome the menace of terrorism through national action plan.
"Pakistan belongs to all of us and we jointly have to run it. We all have to collectively work hard for national development," he added. On the occasion, different matters, including reorganization of the PML-N, phase-wise elections of office-bearers and different organizational matters came under discussion. Senators, including Rahila Magsi, Dr Asif Kirmani, Asad Ali Khan Junejo, Saleem Zia and others attended the meeting.
