PESHAWAR: The Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) has decided to provide industrial consumers a relief of Rs3 per unit, a statement said on Sunday.

This was decided at the power utility’s 105th BoD meeting at Wapda House in Peshawar on Saturday evening. The meeting was chaired by Pesco BoD Chairman Malik Muhammad Asad Khan.

“The decision will be immediately implemented and bills will be revised if already issued,” added the statement.
