KARACHI, Feb. 6 (APP): President Mamnoon Hussain here on Monday

private initiative against energy deficit in the country.
“Pakistan is steadily improving its power generation capacities
and the recent addition through Fauji Foundation plant will be equally
beneficial for Karachi,” said President Mamnoon Hussain.
