The Minister of Energy, Owais Leghari, said that the instructions would be taken immediately to guarantee uninterrupted power for the households on an empty stomach.

During a meeting of the Senate on the permanence on power, government representatives provided updates on negotiations with independent power producers (IPP).
Power Muhammad Prime Minister Special Assistant said that the agreements with six PPIs had already been terminated and that discussions were continuing to spend other people from dollars to the local currency.
He noted that the reduction in circular debt had become a priority, with plans to give up interest on the contributions in progress and request fixed cost from banks to erase responsibilities.
The meeting saw a dispute on journalists recording the procedure.
A journalist tried to film, encouraging Leghari to wonder if the parliamentary rules allowed such records.
