February 04, 2018

CHITRAL, Feb 04 (INP): Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday said that progress in the country will continue if democracy is allowed to flourish uninterrupted. The prime minister said this while addressing an inauguration ceremony of the Golen Gol Hydropower Project in Chitral, which will add 36 megawatt of electricity. The prime minister was accompanied by MNA from Chitral Shahzada Iftikharuddin and senior officials as he unveiled the plaque of the project. The total installed generation capacity of the project is 108 MW with three generating units – each of them having a capacity of 36 MW. “Such projects were possible because you made the right choice of electing Nawaz Sharif. Now it is in the hands of you people to again make the right choice and allow the progress to continue,” he told the ceremony attendees. PM Abbasi said the credit for ending gas and electricity load shedding in the country goes to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government and said various projects were introduced in those far-flung areas where previous governments were not able to. He said Pakistan has been brought back on the right track. The premier said that more development work has been carried out in Chitral than any other part of the country under the PML-N government, and Lowari Tunnel was an example of it.
