Will the CM Punjab lessen the hardships of Lesco consumers
LAHORE: Some miseries the public faces remain away from the attention of Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, who claims to address people’s problems promptly. Lahore Electric Supply Company bills heavy amounts every month to consumers because of faulty meters installed on their premises. The day and night meters installed are refurbished and many of them do not show digital readouts to accurately calculate the power consumed. Hence, hapless consumers have no choice but to pay the bills received out of fear of disconnection of their power supply. Putting the argument simply, why should the consumers pay heavy bills without readouts available on electric meters? If a consumer asks for the correction of a bill, he or she is asked to visit various offices without finding any success at the end of the day. Will the CM Punjab lessen the hardships of Lesco consumers?
