Sindh Governor Ismail met the prime minister Thursday. He
informed PM Khan about the coronavirus situation, K-Electric issue and other
provincial matters.

The premier directed Asad Umar and Governor Ismail to
contact the KE management and ensure early resolution of the crisis, according
to the PM office statement.

Later, Governor Ismail held a meeting with the planning
minister. The two figures discussed ongoing development projects in Sindh under
the Public Sector Development Programme.

During the meeting, Umar said that resolving the issues
faced by the people of Sindh is the top priority of the centre.
