The public not only respects Mr. Edhi but also loves him. But when he comes on TV to advise us about matters like saving electricity, we think he is being misused. Pretty girls dressed to nines also come on the box to render the same advice. These people sit in floodlit studios and give us the advice to conserve electricity by turning off lights. They should sit with candlelight in front and then may be we might listen to them. The public is fed up with WAPDA because of their inefficiency and cheating. Even the staff of WAPDA is not loyal to the organization as they are the ones who tell the consumer that wiring supplied by their department is substandard or meters too fast or the electricity bills doubled up to make for the shortfall in revenues. Last month, I got a bill of Rs 21, 500, which is more than I have ever had. This, despite very heavy load shedding through out the month. In actual fact, the bill should have been 1/4th of the previous bill because for 6 to 8 hours everyday, there is no electricity. -COL (Retd) R.M. AKHTAR, Lahore, via e-mail, June 25.
