Owais Leghari stated that there will be no electricity load shedding during Sehri and Iftar, emphasizing that facilitating citizens in Ramadan is a top priority. “Providing relief to fasting families is not just a policy choice, it is a responsibility,” he noted. He added that a monitoring system is fully active to keep a close watch on all feeders, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted power supply when it matters most.
Ali Pervaiz Malik, addressing concerns over gas shortages, said that practical arrangements have already been finalized to maintain stable gas pressure during key hours. According to him, gas will be available from 3:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m., allowing families to prepare meals for both Sehri and Iftar without stress or last-minute hurdles.
The decision comes as a breath of fresh air for many citizens who often struggle with unexpected outages during peak times in Ramadan. By aligning essential services with the rhythm of daily worship, the government appears to be striking a reassuring note.
For millions of fasting individuals, uninterrupted electricity and steady gas supply mean more than convenience, they mean peace of mind. And in a month centered on patience, reflection, and togetherness, that peace can make all the difference.
