Government to Waive One Month of Electricity Bills for Flood-Affected Citizens
The government of Pakistan has announced plans to provide a one-month exemption on electricity bills for residents affected by the recent devastating floods.
According to sources, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has instructed the Finance Minister to engage with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding a relief package aimed at supporting flood-hit communities.
The discussions with the IMF will focus on waiving one month of electricity bills for both urban and rural consumers in regions severely impacted by the floods. The move is part of the government’s broader efforts to alleviate the financial burden on citizens during this natural disaster.
The relief package is expected to provide immediate financial support to thousands of families struggling with the aftermath of widespread flooding, which has displaced millions and damaged critical infrastructure across the country.
