Sindh Government Announces Comprehensive Plan to Provide Relief from Hiked Electricity Bills
In response to the Punjab government’s short-term power relief package, the Sindh government has unveiled a comprehensive plan to address the public’s concerns over increased electricity bills. Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, the Minister of Sindh, emphasized the government’s focus on long-term solutions rather than temporary relief measures.
The Sindh government plans to distribute 200,000 solar panels as part of its initiative, with an additional 500,000 panels scheduled for distribution in the coming month. The Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, criticized the Punjab government’s decision to reduce electricity tariffs for two months, calling it bizarre.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also recently announced a relief package for electricity consumers in Punjab. The package includes a reduction of Rs 14 per unit for consumers using up to 500 units, with a focus on low-income households. Sharif praised Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz for her efforts in providing relief and announced a solar panel scheme to further help reduce electricity bills.
Stay tuned for more updates on relief packages and initiatives to alleviate the burden of electricity bills.
