Lesco-CDG lack of coordination hits consumers

Sadaqat Hussain from Iqbal Town said his area was without power supply from 2pm to 5pm, and the supply was disrupted three to four times during the morning for around 50 minutes each but he cannot understand as to why the officials let the streetlights glow.

Lala Rafique from said that his area was without electricity from noon till 7.45 pm but, he asked from where they are getting power for street lights to be lit at day time. Qadir from Ichhra said his area and the neighbouring Rehmanpura, had been without power supply from 1 am 3 am but the streetlights are on during day time.

A student, Abdul Hanif, from Iqbal Town, said his area had been without power supply from most of time but he was really annoyed to see the streetlights being lit at day time too.

Fazle Mubin from Samanabad, said his area remained without power supply for over an hour for four to five times daily but the officials do not bother to put the streetlights off even during daytime.

LESCO spokesman, on the other hand clearly mentioned that the streetlights were solely the responsibility of the City District Government and the company only was providing electricity to them.

He said that he could not depute their staff just to put the streetlights on or off as it is duty of the City govt staff.
