It is being reported that LESCO is charging customers with extra amount of about 10 to 12 billion rupees each month.
There are more than 600,000 impaired electricity meters which need to be changed, but LESCO failed to install new meters. And against these meters LESCO is charging customers with heavy electricity bills from 20,000 to 25,000.
After the news was highlighted in media the Board of Directors was removed and inquiry has been started. Federal Minister for Water & Electricity Abid Sher Ali said that new meters are not available that’s why consumers are facing difficulty.
