GUJAR KHAN: Inflated bills and their late delivery are causing major inconvenience to the residents of Gujar Khan.

A number of consumers have complained that bills are delivered to them by Iesco on the due date which is also the last date of the month.

They said that they were being forced to pay electricity bills on the day when they are looking forward to the next month’s salary.

The alternative is to pay extra in the form of surcharge of many hundred rupees due to no fault of theirs.
