The government's vigorous measures to restore the country's economy and alleviate the ongoing power crisis are beginning to show promising results.
A comprehensive crackdown on electricity theft, spearheaded by both governmental and military leadership, has led to substantial recoveries and numerous arrests nationwide.
In an unprecedented campaign against electricity pilferers, authorities have successfully recovered a staggering sum of Rs101 billion across the country.
The operation, which has seen the arrest of more than 81,000 individuals involved in electricity theft, marks a significant step towards economic stabilization and energy conservation.
From June 16 to June 30 alone, substantial amounts were recovered from various regions. Authorities in Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, and Islamabad managed to reclaim Rs48 million. Similarly, a focused effort in Peshawar, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Quetta yielded another Rs38 million.
The intensified crackdown began on June 9, resulting in the arrest of an additional 140 electricity thieves. These coordinated efforts highlight the government's unwavering commitment to eradicating electricity theft, which has long plagued the country's energy sector.
Officials from relevant institutions have reiterated their determination to continue these operations until the complete eradication of electricity theft. This rigorous campaign not only aims to bolster the national economy but also to ensure a fair and uninterrupted power supply to all citizens.
