Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said that the process of privatization of DISCOs has been set into motion after an amendment in the State Owned Enterprises Act.

Addressing a news conference along with Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader Mustafa Kamal in Islamabad on Thursday, Tarar pointed out that inefficiency and corruption of DISCOs span over several decades. Therefore, he said it was decided to bring competent and professional people from the private sector to run the DISCOs.
He said a delegation of MQM Pakistan comprising Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Mustafa Kamal met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and matters related to electricity bills and IPP issue were discussed.

The minister appreciated the MQM for always showing responsibility and constructive approach towards resolving national issues and played a positive role in the reforms agenda. He said that he was grateful to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement for raising its voice on this issue.—NNI
