The Lahore Electricity Supply Company's (LESCO) performance has been described as poor during the federal government's anti-electricity theft campaign.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the Punjab Energy Department has sent a letter to the LESCO Chief along with the Secretary Power Division based on poor performance.
The channel reported that the Punjab government has sent a letter to LESCO chief Shahid Haider over the issue of poor performance of his company.
The Department of Energy Punjab also informed the Ministry of Power Division about the poor performance of LESCO and a letter was sent to the Secretary of the Power Division Rashid Langriyal and the Joint Secretary Power Division.
According to the content of the letter, electricity theft has not been stopped despite being a complete sport of the Punjab government. The anti-electricity theft campaign started in September did not get positive results.
The letter suggested the Power Division and LESCO officers to work to improve the campaign.
Pertinent to mention here that two days ago, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif also called a meeting on electricity theft. And, during the meeting, the performance of LESCO and other distribution companies was reviewed.
