Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has taken notice of the difficulties in the supply of gas during sehar and iftar during the month of Ramazan and directed to take immediate steps.
The prime minister held an emergency meeting in this regard late at night, in which the problems of gas supply in Sehar and Iftar were discussed in detail with the managing directors and senior management of Sui companies.
