To meet the immediate need of power for Karachi the company should install "barge mounted power plants", which can be secured and inducted in the grid system without any serious difficulty.

The present government will need its full five-year tenure to generate power to the level the ruling Awami League had pledged before the elections to do in three years.

"What we pledged in the election manifesto to do in three years, we' ll be able to do in our five-year tenure," Finance Minister AMA Muhith told reporters yesterday.
