On the directives of Chief Executive Office (CEO), Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) Syed Hassan Fazil drive against illegal use of electricity and recovery of dues has been geared up throughout the province. The CEO PESCO has directed the concerned officials to speed up the drive against illegal use of electricity and root out the power pilferage and kunda culture and reduce the line losses of the company.
Following the directives SDO PESCO Chamkani Sub-Division Sajid Bahadar along with Pesco Police raided and checked different areas of Mera Surizai and removed hundreds of direct hooks and due to non-payment of about Rs 5.8 million eight distribution transformers were removed.
It is important to mention that a Jirga was held among member PESCO Board of Directors Nasir Khan Musazai and elders of the area and agreed to deposit all dues and will remove all direct hooks.
On this decision PESCO restored the electricity but, despite the passage of one month neither the dues were paid nor the direct hooks removed and the PESCO was compelled to disconnected electricity supply to the area again and will not be restored until all dues are paid.
Meanwhile, the management of PESCO has once again warned against the power pilferage in the larger interest of the nation, which on one hand inflicting huge financial and line losses on one hand and the over loading of the distribution system on the other and general public faces inconvenience of frequent power break downs.
