LAHORE: Water and Power Development Authority says the man reported to be handed over to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for being allegedly involved in the theft of furnace oil worth millions from Nandipur power plant, is not its employee.

“The person who was involved in theft is not an employee of Wapda but of Northern Power Generation Company Limited, commonly known as Genco – III. Wapda has nothing to do with it. This company is an independent power generation entity in public sector and not under the administrative or financial control of Wapda,” a spokesman said in a statement.
