The Ministry of Energy is cracking down on people who steal electricity and those who owe money for it. In just 18 days, they've managed to get back more than Rs8.16 billion, which is a lot of money.
They've caught a lot of people who were stealing electricity, more than 2,700 of them, and they've started over 16,000 cases against such people all across Pakistan.
But, they still haven't caught the big fish, the huge electricity thieves or those who owe a lot of money, especially people with power and influence.
LESCO, one of these companies, has been the best so far, getting back more than Rs2.21 billion. MEPCO is right behind with Rs1.16 billion, and then there's PESCO with Rs1.33 billion, HESCO with over Rs1.64 billion, and TESCO with more than Rs360 million.
