The Minister said that tent offices are being set up in other districts on the pattern of Minar-e-Pakistan and this process will continue till uniform load-shedding in all the provinces.

He said that development of industry and agriculture is of key importance in the country’s economy. He said that federal government has no interest in solving the people’s problems. He said that no reduction has been occurred in the electricity bills during worst load-shedding which is tantamount to highhandedness.
