Non-payment of dues: Electricity to water supply schemes cut.

DERA GHAZI KHAN -- The Multan Electric Power Company (Mepco) disconnected electricity to water supply schemes of the Dera Ghazi Khan city over non-payment of outstanding dues of Rs17.1m while non-provision of water to the city has created resentment among the public, sources told Dawn.

The DG Khan Municipal Corporation has been facing deep financial crises and a special team of the corporation is trying to recover outstanding fees and rent due to be paid to it.

Meanwhile, Mepco has disconnected the power connection of water supply schemes of the city which has been running without collection of water supply bills from the consumers because of ignorance of the public as well as of the corporation.
