  1. The word free supply is some what misleading for general masses. A limited No of units are given to Distribution company employees. e.g NBPS 4 have 100 units/ month facility. NBPS 7 employee have 150 units / month and NBPS 14 employees have 200 units/ month facility.

    These employee contribute over 95% of staff free units given to them are less than 0.5% of units consumed in a Distribution company. This low percentage of saving of units will not yield in any improvement in energy crises.
    Until the theft and loss is controlled by WAPDA

    • A Assistant Lineman even having air conditioners in his home and pay electric bill of less than 100 reupees. what sort of Air conditioners you people have that run on 150 units, all the month long.

      • Asif.. the thing that you're pointing out is Corruption! Meter Tempering! And common people like you and I have to pay for it in the form of Line Losses.

        Do you believe all the factories and kaarkhanas are being billed correctly?

    • Are you an affected employee? The employees are not connected like the rest through a Metre.They are connected to the main supply Pole so this is NOT MISLEADING BUT YOUR ARE TRYING TO MISLEAD Izkhan..

  2. Ye jo keh rahe hain kay wapda employees ki free electricity katam ki jai, iss silslay may, may sif itna kehna chahta hon kay Murday kay kapre utarnay se murda halka nahin hota.

  3. han nahe hota mager agr wo apna hak istemal nai kr rahy. wo na sirf apne diye gay units se zyada use krte hain balky bijli agay sale krte hain. kaha se ajaty hain in gharo main 4,4 air conditioner.

    • Believe me Muhammad.. bohat hi kam units hotay hain jo free hotay hain.. monthly 300 units miltay thay hamain jo k Garmio k mosam k aghaaz main hi 3 maheenay k andar consume ho jatay thay. My father was (unfortunately?) an honest employee of WAPDA so aesi koi ayyashi nahi hay 4 4 Air conditioners wali.

      Han albatta jab ap corruption pe utar aein to phir sky is the limit..

  4. pakistan government is very nice and wapda good jobs to pea-pols care thanks load shading you provided free lights candle all happy happy to yours preyed every times

  5. The practice and custom of free electricity to WAPDA employees is illegal and un-lawful. It is un-just, un-fair and discriminatory action. There is no legal justification in providing free electricity to them. Our constitution says that all citizens are entitled to equal treatment and the discrimination is null and void. The employees have provided connections to others from whom, they are charging for their own pockets. But it is going on and none is ready to speak on it.

  6. every department of govt gives facility like railway gives free pass, wasa water, pia a ticket n it is the right of the employees. it is the duty to the govt to apprehended the electricity stealing and give strict punishment..

  8. yes; every department givens facility such as PIA a ticket and railway a free pass, but at the same time we should see what has happened to these departments

  9. Nawaz Sharif would take effective steps to steer the country out of the prevailing crisis and make important decisions to control inflation and end the shortage of electricity and gas. estate tax law
