KARACHI, May 30: The KESC has implemented a relief package for farmers of Balochistan.

According to the PM’s relief package, the KESC will charge a monthly flat rate of Rs4,000 per agricultural electricity connection from the consumer.

The remaining amount of the electricity bill will be cleared on a sharing basis by the federal government (40 per cent), provincial government (30 per cent) and KESC (30 per cent). WAPDA is already providing the facility to Balochistan farmers.
