Govt too withdraws subsidy on electricity bills
The federal government has withdrawn the subsidy the last government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) had offered to the people on electricity bills. In this connection, the Power Division issued a notification on Thursday which said that the relief of Rs5 per unit which was offered by the previous government on power bills had been withdrawn. It may be mentioned here that the government withdrew the subsidy in electricity bills only a day after phasing out the subsidy it had been providing on prices of petroleum products.
