DADU, Jan 29: The Dadu taluka council here on Thursday unanimously adopted a resolution, condemning disconnection of power supply for city street lights and issuing of inflated bills by Hesco.
The resolution called on the Federal Investigation Agency to investigate into alleged corruption of Hesco staff. Abdul Majeed, tabling the resolution, said that the Sindh government had released money for paying the dues of power supply to streetlights and water supply schemes but the Hesco officials had severed the connections.
