PESHAWAR: Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) President Muhammad Ishaq lauded the decision of Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) for granting two-day extension in last date for payment of bills for industrial consumers.
Ishaq, in a statement issued here on Wednesday, stated that SCCI had given a recommendation to Pesco to make extension in payment of electricity bills while keeping in view the prolonged Eid holidays.
Following the SCCI recommendations, he said Pesco extended the date for payment of electricity bills for industrial consumers from April 26 to 28th, which is a highly laudable step that has definitely provided relief to industrial consumers to some extent.
The chamber president said Pesco has instructed consumers to make contact with their relevant Revenue Office (RO) following the extension in the date.
Ishaq expressed gratitude to the Chief Executive Officer and top-management of Peshawar Electric Supply Company for this decision.
He urged the industrial consumers to immediately approach ROs in light of directives of the Pesco.
