In view of rising inflation, the Chiniot Youth Forum has decided to support the affected people who have been facing high rates of electricity bills and are unable to pay their bills because they have no sources of income in these hard time. They said that they will now pay the full bill up to 200 units for deserving families of the Chiniot Sheikh community, while CYF will bear 50% of the bill up to 250 units to contribute with the persons living from hand to mouth.
CYF said that, they are your support not a habit, but what is going on with electricity consumers is like a fish out of water.
