THARPARKAR: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said no one is above the law and will not be allowed to aid terrorism.
Condemning yesterday’s terrorist incidents targeting military personnel, the premier said that the malicious agenda of Pakistan’s enemies would be foiled.
The prime minister’s comments came during his visit to Tharparkar’s Islamkot area for the inauguration event of two coal-fired power plants with a capacity of 1,650 megawatt of electricity generation.
PM Shehbaz said the projects — including the 1,320 megawatt Shanghai Electric power plant and 330MW Thal Nova power plant — would turn the desert into an economic hub and annually generate 11.24 billion units of low-cost electricity.
Through the direct investment of $3.53 billion into these projects, which were abandoned during the last four years and are now operational on PM Shehbaz’s directives, the production of coal-based electricity in Thar will increase up to 3,300MW.
PM Shehbaz expressed confidence that the journey of progress would spread across the country and would strengthen the national economy.
