A decision could not be taken today to give immediate relief to the people under the power bill. There will be another meeting tomorrow on electricity rates and bills.
A meeting was held on electricity rates and bills under the chairmanship of Caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar. Caretaker Prime Minister sought reports from concerned authorities on electricity bills, suggestions were also sought to provide relief to the people.
On the other hand, sources say that Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar was briefed by the Ministry of Energy and distribution companies in the meeting, and was also briefed on the issue of free electricity supply to employees.
In the briefing given in the meeting, it was informed that the free electricity units provided to the officers of the discos are ending. Except for old employees of WAPDA, no discount is being given in electricity bills in any department. At present this concession is being given to the employees of the discos, not that the entire burden is being passed on to the electricity bill payers.
Sources say that the caretaker prime minister directed to stop the supply of free electricity. The caretaker prime minister also directed to take emergency measures to stop power theft.
