Summary Sources say the decision of power shutdown in different areas of Lahore was based on corruption.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) chief Arshad Rafiq has been removed from office on charges of a corruption based decision.
According to sources, around 10-hour power shutdown in different areas of Lahore on May 27 is the main reason behind the decision.
The sources added that the power shutdown was based on financial corruption instead of administrative decision.
The LESCO officials were involved in the decision and deprived residents of Lahore of electricity in order to provide electricity to the textile sector’s feeder.
LESCO’s operational director Mehboob Ali had already been removed and arrested while FIA has started interrogating the illegal decision of May 27’s electricity shutdown.
