He said, \u201cThat is why we have to reduce some of our production capacity.\u201d<br \/>\nThe minister said, \u201cWe have so far arranged four additional ships of LNG loads and five ships of furnace oil to solve the shortage of fuel in the country.\u201d<br \/>\n He said that the RLNG-based Haveli Bahadur Shah power plant took a break for some maintenance and soon it will start production.<br \/>\nHe said in addition to that, a coal-fired IPP is also being revived after removing technical faults, which will add additional electricity to the system and improve the power situation in the country. The minister said the government will procure more loads of furnace oil, and RLNG to provide electricity to the people at affordable rates.<br \/>\nSpeaking on the occasion, Dr Musadik Malik said the last government failed to arrange gas and other fuel as per needs of the country due to which the nation is facing the menace of loadshedding. He, however, said the incumbent government has procured the LNG as per needs of the country, but on higher prices because the previous rulers did not bother to arrange the fuel well in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Minister for Power Khurram Dastagir Khan has said the government is striving hard to control loadshedding in the country.
