Additionally, from 30 June onwards, Bahria Town will have a four-hour power out every day, which will be extended to six hours as the town’s management has racked up a whopping Rs. 608 million in unpaid dues to IESCO.
Although Bahria Town has its own power grid, its Phases IV and VII use IESCO’s supply.
The notification detailed that all the formalities in this regard have been fulfilled, and instructed Grid Stations Bahria Town Phase-IV and Phase-VII to begin the load management from Wednesday, 30 June.
