ISLAMABAD: A significant reduction in the power crisis has been seen across the country due to improved weather conditions and increased water release from dams.
According to official sources, the power shortfall, which had earlier reached 6500 MW, has now reduced to only 3000 MW, after which power load shedding has been reduced to zero in the Islamabad region.
