LAHORE: Electricity prices will drop monthly under the new government policy, announced Punjab's Senior Provincial Minister, Marriyum Aurangzeb. This move is part of a continued monthly relief plan, aiming to alleviate the burden of rising electricity costs on citizens. Aurangzeb attributed this move to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's efforts to provide an Eid gift to the people.
The reduction is a significant relief for the public, especially for those struggling with rising living costs. Aurangzeb emphasized that delivering relief while remaining within the IMF program is a major achievement. The minister also criticized the former PTI government for increasing electricity prices to Rs 45 per unit during their tenure.
Key points include a monthly relief plan to decrease electricity prices, the government's success in providing relief while staying within the IMF program, and efforts to improve the economy, resulting in decreasing inflation and returning hope to the nation. Maryam Nawaz is set to announce wheat procurement plans soon.
Aurangzeb advised against politicizing water canal issues, suggesting concerns should be addressed at the Council of Common Interests. This announcement comes as a welcome respite for citizens, and the government's efforts to improve the economy and provide relief are evident in the decreasing inflation rate and increasing hope across the nation.
In related news, NEPRA has announced a reduction in electricity prices, further solidifying the government's commitment to providing relief to its citizens. As the government continues to work on improving the economy, citizens can expect more positive developments in the future.
