Addressing a news conference at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Lahore office, he stated that in the month of April, there will be no over-billing in the Lahore Electricity Supply Company (LESCO). The rest of the discos have largely stopped overbilling, though that is their own internal matter.
