The company seized 100 kV electricity transformer supplying electricity to three commercial markets where unpaid bills amounted up to Rs 2 million.

Wapda’s Bannu Circle Chairman Liaqat Khan said the action against electricity theft would continue unless consumers pay their bills. “We will not let them get away with it while others pay their bills,” he said, adding the locals should cooperate with the officials and inform them about the individuals and areas involved in electricity theft.
