ISLAMABAD: April 27, 2023: The Senate Standing Committee on Power, chaired by Senator Saifullah Abro, held a meeting at the Parliament House on Thursday.
At the beginning of the meeting, the committee expressed serious concerns about the absence of the Federal Minister for Energy (Power Division), Khurram Dastgir Khan, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Energy (Power Division).
The committee noted that several important matters have been pending for a long time and have been repeatedly discussed without any resolution due to the absence of both the Minister and the Secretary. The committee emphasized that time is of the essence, and discussions without any progress are unproductive.

As a result, the meeting was postponed. The following members of the committee were present: Senator Bahramand Khan Tangi, Senator Fida Muhammad, Senator Haji Hidayatullah, and Senator Umer Farooq. Officials from other attached departments also attended the meeting.
