Islamabad, 27th April 2023 (Online): The Senate Standing Committee on Power, chaired by Senator Saifullah Abro, held a meeting at the Parliament House.
At the beginning of the meeting, the committee expressed serious concerns about the absence of the Federal Minister for Energy (Power Division), Khurram Dastgir Khan, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Energy (Power Division).
The committee noted that several important matters have been pending for a long time and have been repeatedly discussed without any resolution due to the absence of both the Minister and the Secretary.
