Lesco-CDG lack of coordination hits consumers

LAHORE-The blame game and lack of coordination between the City District Government (CDG) and Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) have started hitting the electricity consumers hard as surprisingly the street lights stayed glowing at day time also.

People talked to The Nation to vent their anger about loadshedding in their homes while streets lights were glowing in the daytime.

'It is a sheer wastage of electricity. I called LESCO officials to complain but they wanted me to call up City District Govt to register my complaint instead of taking action', said an Allama Iqbal resident.

He said that the govt says there was severe shortage of electricity, but where they were getting electricity from to lit the streetlights at daytime. One of the LESCO consumer remarked that previously friends used to ask one another that when did the power go off, but now they asked when the power came and for how long it remained on. 'But it is really irritating to see the street lights glowing at day time'.
