PTI Lawmakers Spark Controversy Over Electricity Intervention

In recent developments, lawmakers belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have sparked controversy by taking matters into their own hands to restore electricity supply in certain areas, a responsibility that falls under the jurisdiction of the central government. The most recent incident involved a PTI Member of the National Assembly intervening to reinstate power in parts of South Waziristan, leading to tensions with federal authorities.

It is crucial to understand that the majority of power distribution companies in Pakistan, except for K-Electric, are owned by the government. This means that the primary responsibility for managing and regulating power supply across the country rests with the federal government.

While the intentions of PTI lawmakers to address electricity issues are commendable, it is essential to adhere to established protocols and work in collaboration with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and lawful process. By respecting the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder, including the federal government and power distribution companies, sustainable solutions can be achieved for the benefit of all citizens.
