Wapda Chairman Tariq Hamid has directed the power distribution companies (DISCOs) to inform general public before initiating up-gradation and maintenance work and subsequent power shutdown so that they can plan accordingly and inconvenience caused to them is minimised.
While presiding over a meeting of Chief Executive Officers of all distribution companies, here on Monday, Tariq further directed the companies to inform the public about the nature of maintenance work so that they became fully aware in this respect.
