According to the text of calling attention notice, "We would like to draw the attention of this august House towards a matter of urgent public importance regarding the prospective increase in consumer tariffs.
The approved inclusion of three surcharges in power consumer tariff (worth Rs 2.4 per unit), and the additional cost incurred on account of transmission and distribution losses, places an extra burden of Rs 75 billion on the users per year. This huge burden on public should be discussed on the floor of the House under Rule no 88 of Rules and Procedures of National Assembly." PPP MNAs Shazia Atta Marri, Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah, Imran Zafar Leghari, Syed Naveed Qamar and Nawab Muhammad Yousuf Talpur on Monday submitted the calling attention notice in the National Assembly Secretariat.
