The meeting, chaired by Muhammad Idrees, Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Power Division, was attended by committee members and senior officials of K-Electric. Committee members stressed that citizens paying substantial monthly electricity bills are entitled to an uninterrupted and reliable power supply. During the session, K-Electric sought the committee’s support to convert an existing ordinance against electricity theft into permanent legislation, arguing that theft directly increases the burden on honest consumers. The Standing Committee assured full backing for legislation to criminalize electricity theft but demanded immediate and tangible steps from K-Electric to protect compliant consumers.
