Prime Minister Imran Khan has congratulated Minister for Power Omar Ayub and Secretary Irfan Ali for launching a campaign against the electricity thieves and working towards removing bottlenecks in the power transmission.
"Want to congratulate Omar Ayub and Secretary Irfan Ali for the way they went after the electricity thieves and worked on removing bottlenecks in the electricity transmission - thus allowing Pakistanis the luxury of having the first load shedding-free Ramazan."
In a tweet, the premier said this step allowed Pakistanis the luxury of having the first load shedding free Ramazan.
Earlier, PM had also lauded Pakistan military's unprecedented voluntary initiative of stringent cuts in their defence expenditures for next fiscal year because of country's critical financial situation.
Prime Minister said that the government will spend this money saved on development of merged tribal areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Meanwhile, Directory General (DG) Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor stated in a later tweet that voluntary cuts in the defence budget for next fiscal year would not be at the cost of defence and security.
