The State Bank of Pakistan, citing NEPRA data, found that from FY2017-FY2020, Pakistan generated 72,755GWh of electricity from LNG at a cost of Rs. 666.3 billion, and that the same electricity from furnace oil would have cost Rs. 900 billion. This is a saving of Rs. 234 billion.

The most well-attended panel at a literary festival is about climate change. The anxiety/curiosity is very real. #LLF #LivingIndus
