Powerless people (III)

Letter October 04, 2011
Any department of the government that does not pay its bill on time, should have its electricity disconnected.

ISLAMABAD: This is in reference to your report of October 4 titled” Govt admits no’ quick fixes’ to power outages”. A PML-N MNA has proposed that power supply should be suspended to areas where people don’t pay their bills. I propose that we start first with the private homes of all ministers, and also senior police and army officials. Any department of the government that does not pay its bill on time, should have its electricity disconnected.
