"The House expects from the Norwegian Government that such actions must be prevented and those who are responsible for inciting religious hatred and violence to be brought to justice as soon as possible."

Responding to the calling attention notices of former prime minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed and Leader of the Opposition Chaudhary Muhammad Yaseen, Minister Electricity Raja Nisar Ahmed told the House that electricity system was being upgraded throughout the state due to which people were facing unannounced load-shedding.

"The up-gradation process would be completed by June 2020," he said.

The minister said four hours load-shedding in urban and that of six hours in rural areas was being carried out by WAPDA. "Sometime citizens have to face the power outrage due to repair work on transmission line, replacement of conductors and transformers," he added.
