Heavy electricity bills:
This month, the electricity consumers received heavy bills. Even the citizens who are living in countryside areas and in villages have also received heavy electricity bills to pay this month.
“We have just a small fridge, a fan and water pump, and we have received Rs20,000 bill this month,” said Mukhtaran Bibi, a resident of village near Hujra Shah Muqeem in district Okara. Last month, she said, they received a bill of Rs18,000.
“How much electricity we consume? We don’t know why the government is burdening us is with such heavy electricity bills,” she said while raising a question.
She went on to say that they hardly meet their expenses and could not afford heavy electricity bills.
“This government has turned our lives literally miserable. We are losing the charm of life,” she added.
Another woman said that they received Rs9,000 electricity bill this month—a Rs3000 less than the previous one. She also lives in a village in Okara.
There are countless people in Lahore and other cities who have expressed their inability to pay electricity bills as inflation has already broken their backs.
It may also be mentioned here that the JI has already protesting against heavy electricity bills and high inflation for more than a week in Rawalpindi.
