SUKKUR: Residents of the city and its adjoining areas continued to suffer hours-long power loadshedding, receive inflated bills for the power they did not consume and fluctuation in power supply by the Sukkur Electric Power Company.

Members of the Sukkur Small Traders, meanwhile, held meeting on the nagging issue and said that Sepco was in the habit of sending inflated and detection bills to its domestic and commercial consumers to make up for losses. They said the traders had held many meetings with Sepco officials and requested them to issue correct bills but no action was taken in this regard despite their commitment.
