PPP urges reversal of power tariff hike

The South Punjab chapter of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has demanded that the government reverse the increase in electricity tariff to provide relief to the people.

In a joint statement issued on Saturday, South Punjab PPPP President Makhdoom Syed Ahmed Mehmood, Chief Coordinator Abdul Qadir Shaheen, Senior Vice President Khawaja Rizwan Alam and Media Coordinator Muhammad Salim Mughal urged the government to immediately withdraw the increase in electricity tariff.

They said the extraordinary increase in the prices of electricity, gas and petroleum products would add to inflation.
