Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) Shahpur Sub-Division SDO Imran Haider and his team conducted a search operation against electricity thieves on Sunday.
During the operation, they checked 10 houses in Shadiwal village and discovered that all of them were stealing electricity from direct supply.

All of the illegal connections were disconnected immediately, and an application for an FIR against the culprits has been submitted to the concerned police station.
