IESCO has urged the heads of all these defaulting institutions to settle their dues. The management has advised them to contact the relevant revenue office or the commercial directorate at IESCO head office for any necessary information or assistance regarding bill payments.
Why govt don’t outstanding dues from these govt institutions? We were made to believe that public theft of electricity is the main reason for circular debt.
This is totally mis leading. Similarly we have been taught history in school and colleges that has nothing to do with reality.
If we are taught and told lies about our lives than how can we produce good citizen.

Head of all these departments are morons and they should be held accountable for all the defaults inccur.As, it shows there incompetency and dishonesty related to their sorry but they are so busy in corruption and other irrelevant activities that fruit of their activities are beared by local public. Especially in attock cantonment’s case ,Cantt CEO Syeda Umama who is already involved in grapping public’s expensive properties should be held responsible by regulatory authority and they should do the needful.
