Sharif wants electricity from neighbouring countries

Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday ordered officials to examine the possibility of immediate import of electricity from neighbouring countries.

Earlier, Sharif had personally asked Indian High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal to expedite a visit by Indian energy experts to Pakistan. Following Sharif’s request, a team of Indian experts visited Islamabad and Lahore earlier this week to discuss the export of gas and electricity.
