PM Shehbaz to announce cut in electricity prices soon: Petroleum minister

LAHORE  –  Federal Petroleum Minister for Ali Parvez Malik has announced that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif will soon unveil a plan to reduce electricity prices, ensuring relief for the people.

Speaking at an event on Sunday, he said that the government was prioritising the health and education sectors, with efforts underway to improve public facilities. He highlighted the transformation of Kot Khwaja Saeed Hospital from a mere dispensary into a full-fledged hospital, a move aimed at better serving the local community. He credited this development to the special directives of PML-N Chief Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who are committed to facilitating underprivileged citizens. As part of these welfare efforts, daily Iftar arrangements have also been made at the hospital. The minister reaffirmed that, alongwith his appointment as Petroleum Minister, the prime minister had instructed that the public must not face hardships due to gas load-shedding. He also revealed that the government has decided to maintain stability in petrol and diesel prices, ensuring transparency in every rupee collected from fuel taxes. Addressing concerns about electricity costs, he assured that the upcoming reduction would not be a temporary measure for just one or two months but a long-term relief initiative. Reflecting on past economic challenges, he pointed out that when Shehbaz Sharif took charge of the PDM-led government, petrol prices had surged beyond Rs300, but they were successfully brought down. He also emphasised the government’s commitment to reviving industrial activity, stating that factory chimneys would soon be operational again. Discussing Pakistan’s current situation, Malik stated that the country is at a crucial turning point in its history. He praised the relentless efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and stressed the need for decisive action. “We must choose whether to continue on the outdated path of the last 70-80 years or embrace reforms for a better future,” he remarked.

Paying tribute to the armed forces, he lauded the dedication of soldiers who safeguard the nation day and night. He prayed for their safety and reaffirmed that the state would utilise all resources to combat terrorism. He also stressed the importance of implementing the National Action Plan to eliminate the menace of terrorism and called for unity among political parties to address national challenges. On the economic front, the minister shared positive news regarding negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stating that discussions had been successful and that the IMF had acknowledged Shehbaz Sharif’s efforts. He urged political parties to set aside personal interests and work collectively for the betterment of Pakistan, warning that the public would not tolerate leaders who prioritise self-interest over national progress. He further pointed out the financial burden of Rs4,000 billion on the power grid and emphasised the need for stability in the energy sector. He announced the introduction of new solar connections equipped with net meters, reinforcing that solar energy is a crucial resource for Pakistan’s energy future. However, he stressed the need to protect the national grid, where billions of public funds have already been invested. In his concluding remarks, he reiterated the government’s commitment to safeguarding Pakistan’s sovereignty and prosperity, calling for unity and collective efforts to navigate the country through its challenges.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
