K-Electric issued a press statement in which the company condemned the FIR registered against some of its employees. The statement further added that the allegations of over billing were wrong and baseless. KE Spokesperson further added that the power utility will respond strongly against the lodged FIR, adding to the statement. Remember that a consumer on Thursday registered a FIR against K-Electric alleging that the power utility has sent him 'inflated' bill.
"Various forums have been created where consumers can register their complaints. Theft ratio in most parts of Surjani stands at over 60% whereas the bill recovery or paying ratio is less than 30%. KE officers are rigorously making their best efforts to curb power theft which is a heinous crime in a civilized society. During recoveries and raid against power theft, KE staff has been threatened with baseless FIRs and continuously faces such challenges". KE spokesperson added that 'Customers are sent bills according to meter readings of each locality.-PR
