I live in Modern Colony, Kot Lakhpat, Lahore. I deposited Rs2,100 in the Habib Bank branch, Pindi Stop, Kot Lakhpat, on April 22, 2014, for the replacement of my domestic electricity meter, but so far nothing has been done.

Recently, I received an electricity bill amounting to Rs6,696 for May 2015. Every month excessive units are deliberately shown in our electricity bill.

This addition has not only badly affected my monthly budget, but also multiplied my worries many times over.

Whenever I approach the Liaquatabad Town sub-division, Lesco, the staff there deals with me quite tactfully.

The demand notice issued in respect of my late father Joseph Paul bears Sr.#1012/22.4.2014.

The Lesco staff concerned is requested to replace my faulty electricity meter, bearing Ref.#02112160154200U, with a new one.
