Lesco employee draws pay sans work

KOT RADHA KISHAN  - A Lesco worker has been acting as vice principal in various technical colleges for the last 10 years by remaining absent from the grid station he is appointed, with alleged connivance of his officers.  Zaid Khan, an operator at Lesco grid station Kot Radha Kishan, is also running his own technical academy namely MIT Science and Technology, and also deals in animals. Besides, he is doing MSc from an institute of Lahore.
His attendance is marked daily on the duty register though he does not perform duty at the grid station. He has caused a loss of millions of rupees by getting salary as he remains absent from the station.  People of the area demanded that the federal minister for water and power and the Lesco chief should take stern action against Zaid Khan. For the viewpoint of the Lesco worker, this scribe repeatedly tried to contact but his cell phone was switched off.
