The focus of a recent federal cabinet meeting, presided over by acting prime minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar, was on providing assistance to electricity users.

The decision was made to allow customers who use up to 400 units of power to pay their bills in installments over the following six months.

Before publicizing this measure of relief, the IMF’s consent will be requested.

The summit also covered the nation’s economic predicament, public outcry over electricity prices, and the power-sharing formula.
