The Power Division of Pakistan has issued a stern warning of legal action against individuals and entities spreading what it calls 'false' claims regarding inflated electricity bills. The statement comes amid public outcry over rising utility costs.
In an official release, the Power Division asserted that the billing system is transparent and based on actual consumption. It urged consumers to verify their bills through official channels and report any discrepancies through proper procedures.
The warning follows widespread social media posts alleging that consumers were overcharged in recent billing cycles. The Power Division categorically denied these allegations, labeling them as misinformation intended to create unrest.
Officials have encouraged the public to use the official complaint mechanisms, including helplines and online portals, to address any genuine billing issues. They reiterated that legal action would be taken against those found guilty of spreading false information.
