PESHAWAR: The Provincial government OF Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KPK) has
referred to federal government for detaching FATA and AJK from PESCO
(Peshawar electric supply Co).
This request has been put forth,
considering the law and order situation and unscheduled load shedding
crisis, underlying the reason that federal government should allocate
separate quota for FATA and AJK regions, as electricity shared from KPK
quota reduced it’s demand, causing unscheduled loadshedding.
The
KPK government also contends that bills from KPK were timely paid,
while these were not being paid in time and full due to massive
line-losses and other reasons.
Peshawar High Court was already reviewing a case in this connection, it was informed. Online
