KARACHI:
The government and National Electric Power and Regulatory Authority (Nepra) must ask K-Electric (KE) to reduce the electricity tariff in accordance with the prime minister’s order to cut it by Rs2.32 per unit, said Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi chapter amir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Monday. “KE is fleecing consumers with inflated electricity bills and there is no respite from load-shedding even in winter when electricity consumption is low,” he said.
