ISLAMABAD: Former President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Dr. Shahid Rasheed Butt on Wednesday said that the business community condemn power companies for their overbilling which is going on for two months.
Despite good weather, the consumers have been receiving inflated power bills and they are forced to pay from 100 percent to 200 percent inflated bills by the power distributors while the regulator seems to be hand in glove, he said.
Shahid Rasheed Butt said that the Supreme Court should probe this daylight robbery and punish the culprits, as it is impossible that the consumption of millions of consumers increases manyfold without any reason.
The business leader noted that the steep fall of the rupee is not natural and it is against the economic principles.
He said that a strengthened dollar has added to the debt by almost Rs1.75 trillion which must be probed.
He accepted that increased imports and some other factors have increased pressure on the rupee but it is not as much as the masses are told.
