Amid reports of prolonged power outages in the country, former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday said that the power load-shedding would be reduced to 3.5 hours from Tuesday (tomorrow). "After June 30, there will be no load-shedding of more than two hours. Abbasi said that from Tuesday, there will only be 3.5 hours of power outages in the country and from June 16, the period would be reduced to three hours. Lamenting over the ‘incompetence’ of PTI government, the former prime minister said that the efficiency of some power plants in the country was extremely low and should have been replaced. He further said that the LNG contracts made during the tenure of the PML-N government were saving the country Rs140 billion.
