The Ministry of Power Division has strongly denounced the circulation of a misleading electricity bill on social media aimed at tarnishing the reputation of Federal Minister Sardar Awais Ahmad Leghari. The bill in question pertains to a property owned by Minister Leghari in Fort Monroe Hill station, which has been inactive. The meter was lawfully locked in August 2023 due to non-usage, and all outstanding dues were settled in December 2023, leading to the legal disconnection of the connection.
Despite the meter being reconnected in June 2024, no electricity units have been consumed as the property remains unused. The Ministry emphasizes that Minister Leghari has diligently fulfilled his national responsibilities without any salary or perks, providing essential services to the public.
It is crucial to verify information before sharing it on social media to prevent the spread of misinformation. The Ministry's clarification sheds light on the true circumstances surrounding the circulated electricity bill, highlighting the importance of fact-checking and responsible sharing in today's digital age.
