The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (Iesco) has decided to keep the electricity of Bahria Town suspended for six hours daily as the housing society has failed to clear Rs608 million dues in respect of electricity bills.
On the other hand, prolonged and unannounced load-shedding in Rawalpindi has made the life of the residents miserable amid the scorching heat. With regard to the suspension of electricity to Bahria Town, an Iesco statement said the timing of the load management on Tuesday (June 29) was from 3 pm to 5 pm and then from 8 pm to 10 pm.
From onwards, there will be six hours’ load management in three intervals — from 10 am to noon, 3 pm to 5 pm and 8 pm to 10 pm. An official of Iesco, while talking to Dawn, said the supply would be fully restored as soon as the Bahria Town management cleared the dues.
When contacted, an official of Bahria Town expressed ignorance about the issue and promised that he would contact as soon as he gets information about it. However, he did not call back till the filing of this story.
