He made this announcement, while addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Friday.

He further said 40 percent supply of RLNG has been restored. Hopefully up to 70 percent by tomorrow, he said.

The minister said the gap between demand and supply increased due to peak season of power consumption in the country.

Moreover, 90 percent gas supply to the Sui Sothern Gas company also restored.

He said that at present the company is not facing any specific shortage.

He said Tarbela Dam power station is also running on 20 to 25 percent of its total capacity due to less downstream water.

However, water flow is gradually increasing, the power generation will enhance accordingly.
