Peshawar
May 3, 2021
NOWSHERA: A journalist here on Sunday asked the chief executive officer of the Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) to take action against the officials for sending him electricity bills despite the fact that he had surrendered the power meter to the company.
Speaking at a press conference, Syed Pir Tajmir Shah, who is the member of the governing body of the Nowshera Press Club, said he had submitted an application to get a separate electricity meter installed at his residence in Nowshera Kalan in 2017.
He recalled that he was provided a meter after six months and that too without the power cable. He said he put the meter at his home and went to Africa on a preaching mission with the Tablighi Jamaat and returned after one year.
