What happened
Minister Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari agreed to reduce load shedding and extend electricity supply to high-loss areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This decision was made during a consultative meeting in Islamabad, which also included Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi. The plan involves implementing a Transformer-Based Load Management System, which will transition load management from shutting down entire feeders to managing individual transformers.
