MPA Fazal Elahi leads protest at PESCO grid station

Recently, a group of demonstrators, headed by MPA Fazal Elahi, caused a stir at the Rehman Baba Grid Station, which is operated by the Peshawar Electric Supply Corporation (PESCO). The protesters, following Elahi's lead, managed to gain access to the station premises and proceeded to activate nine feeders that are notorious for experiencing high losses due to electricity theft and unpaid bills.

This incident sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by utility companies like PESCO in combating electricity theft and recovering outstanding dues from consumers. The unauthorized activation of these feeders not only poses a safety risk but also hampers the overall efficiency of the electricity distribution system in the region.

Electricity theft and non-payment of bills have been longstanding issues in Pakistan, leading to financial losses for power companies and disruptions in the provision of electricity to law-abiding consumers. The actions of the protesters at the Rehman Baba Grid Station highlight the urgent need for stricter enforcement measures and public awareness campaigns to address these issues effectively.

As the authorities investigate the incident at the Rehman Baba Grid Station, it is crucial for all stakeholders to work together towards finding sustainable solutions to combat electricity theft and promote responsible energy consumption. By raising awareness about the consequences of such actions and implementing stricter penalties for offenders, we can ensure a more reliable and efficient electricity supply for everyone in the community.
