SHEIKHUPURA, Pakistan: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Wednesday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led government was committed to progress & development, and undertaking a string of projects across the Country to boost national economy, generate employment and reduce poverty.

The prime minister said that having a total capacity of 1,180 megawatts, the gas powered Bhikki power plant would be fully operational by the end of 2018. He said that almost 84 percent work had been completed and the plant would be producing 716 megawatts initially before the summer 2017.

In addition, he said that several new power projects were in final stages which after completion would solve the energy shortage issue in the Country.

The prime minster said that no other government in the past bothered to work on motorways. However, the present government was now working on Lahore-Karachi Motorway speedily, he added.

Earlier, the prime minister visited different parts of the Bhikki Power Plant and personally observed the progress of the project.
