MARDAN: Leaders of Markazi Tanzeem-i-Tajiran, Mardan chapter, said here on Friday that fuel price adjustment (FPA) in electricity bills was a sheer injustice with them and warned that they would file a writ petition against these charges in the Peshawar High Court.

In this regard, a meeting of members of the traders’ body was held to devise an effective line of action against the inclusion of charges on account of FPA in the power bills.

Markazi Tanzeem-i-Tajiran president Ihsan Bacha chaired the meeting, which was attended by representatives of different traders’ unions.

The traders said that they had already been paying different types of taxes to the government. They said that on the one side the business activities had suffered owing to hefty increase in the prices of petroleum products, on the other the government was imposing taxes on them, which increased the cost of business.
