A legislative body of upper house of parliament on Tuesday express serious concern over high power bills, its rates which lead to civil disobedience and restlessness among the masses at large. The crises may further intensify if proper steps were not taken to address people concern over expensive power usage. These were expressed in the Senate Standing Committee on Power, which met today under the Chairmanship of Senator Saifullah Abro.
Chairman Committee after deliberating at length concluded that the only resolution of this country wide energy crisis is to make efforts to review the agreements of IPPs in detail and estimated price be re-evaluated as per its legal frame work. He said that IPPs should not work independently without monitoring leading to over invoicing. He said that the entire infrastructure needs re-examination and review on clauses of misinformation and fraud.
