Federal Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar has directed the power distribution companies to achieve recovery target of Rs 54 billion, set for the current month, improve their efficiency and minimise line losses. He said this while presiding over a meeting of the CEOs of power distribution companies held here on Monday to review the recovery position.
The minister was of the view that swift recovery would help improve power generation. Qamar also asked all the companies to reduce their line losses and bring it to the minimum level. He directed the Discos to disconnect the supply of private and government consumers without any discrimination in case of non-payment of bills.
Earlier, the CEOs of the Discos briefed the minister on their recovery position. They assured the minister of working hard to achieve the recovery target. They informed that Rs 15 billion had so far been recovered and the remaining amount would be recovered by the end of May.-PR
