Laborer in Jehlum Receives Rs. 18 Lakh Electricity Bill
In Jhelum, Punjab, a laborer was stunned to receive an Rs. 18 lakh electricity bill for July, especially after struggling with a Rs. 56,000 bill the month before. With only Rs. 1,000 a day in earnings, paying such a huge amount is impossible for him.
WAPDA, the electricity company, is aware of the issue and is investigating the bill. They promise to correct it if there’s an error. This situation highlights a growing problem in Pakistan with inflated electricity bills, causing stress for many. The laborer’s case has raised concerns about billing errors and the need for fair practices.
Residents are calling for a review of billing procedures to prevent similar issues. As the investigation continues, there’s hope for a corrected bill and better measures to avoid such mistakes in the future.
