PESHAWAR
A meeting was held in Mardan under the chairmanship of Commissioner Mardan Division Shaukat Ali Yousafzai regarding public complaints in the context of day-to-day power outages. Chief Pesco Qazi Tahir, Deputy Commissioner Mardan Muhammad Fayaz Khan Sherpao, SE Pesco Mardan and related engineers participated in the meeting.
Commissioner Mardan Division Shaukat Ali Yousafzai informed Chief Pesco and other officials about the increasing load shedding of electricity in Mardan Division and the anxiety among the people in this regard. He said that administrative officers and police in Mardan conducted a day and night campaign against power theft and kunda culture as a result of which Mardan was given the status of load shedding free city with record recovery. But with the onset of power outages in Mardan city for some time now, the duration of load shedding has been extended in other areas, which has created anxiety among the people.
Chief Pesco Qazi Muhammad Tahir said the cooperation of Mardan division administration and police in the campaign against electricity theft and kunda culture was matchless.
He said that due to the recent severe cold and fog, tripping in grid stations is a technical problem that causes frequent power outages. This problem will be solved after the change of weather.
Commissioner Mardan emphasized on Pesco officials that in this regard continuous supply of electricity should be ensured by controlling the technical problems as soon as possible and along with this, necessary steps should be also taken to inform the public about the situation.
