KESC starts charging 40pc arrears in Nov bills

KARACHI - The KESC has included the arrears of 40 per cent in the electricity bills of the consumers for the current month of November.
Last month, after countrywide protests, the federal government allowed the electricity consumers to deposit only 60 per cent of their inflated bills. A few days ago, federal government further reduced the tariff but the KESC had included 40 per cent balance amount in the bills of its consumers, sources confided to The Nation here on Monday.
It is pertinent to mention here that the company has claimed that it is issuing bills after the revision of tariff, recommended by the committee formed for this purpose, which had suggested about 13 per cent cut in domestic tariff.
