All power distribution companies across the country including Lahore and Faisalabad Electric Supply Companies, have started disconnecting the power supply of defaulters who even after being served the final warning, failed to clear their dues.
Lahore Electric Supply Corporation (Lesco) and Faisalabad Electric Supply Corporation (Fesco) sources told APP here on Sunday that a vigorous campaign has been launched for the recovery of arrears, and all defaulters, irrespective of their status, have been told to clear their current bills and arrears to avoid disconnection of their power supply. SEs, Xens and SDOs working in distribution companies at Sheikupura, Kasur, Okara, Lahore, Nankana Sahib, Faisalabad, Toba Tek Singh, Jhang, Sargodha, Khushab, Bhakkar and Mianwali districts have been directed to disconnect the power supply to defaulters and initiate legal action against them.
Many recovery teams have been constituted at sub-division level to ensure recovery of all arrears, especially those considered dead arrears, from the defaulters.
Chief executives of the two companies, Muhammad Akram Arain and Ahmad Saeed Akhtar are personally monitoring the overall performance of subordinate field officers, and taking to task those showing poor performance. Officials will be responsible for achieving the recovery targets set by the authority, and they have been warned not to restore power supply of defaulting consumers unless all arrears are cleared, failing which they will be suspended from the service.
