The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has announced an extension of the electricity bill payment deadline to November 29, 2024. This decision was made to facilitate consumers affected by the disruptions caused by recent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests.
The extension ensures that consumers can pay their electricity bills without facing additional surcharges. IESCO has directed all relevant offices, banks, and post offices to accommodate the extended payment period, providing much-needed relief to the public.
Disruptions Due to PTI Protests
The protests led to significant disruptions in Islamabad, including road closures and restricted access to major routes such as the Islamabad-Lahore Motorway. However, after a successful operation by security forces, the roads have been cleared, and normalcy has returned to the capital.
IESCO’s Consumer-Focused Initiative
The decision reflects IESCO’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by its consumers during unforeseen circumstances. By extending the deadline, the utility company aims to ease the financial burden and inconvenience caused by the protests.
How to Pay the Extended Deadline Bills
Consumers are advised to visit their nearest authorized banks or post offices to settle their electricity bills before the new deadline. Online payment options remain available for added convenience.
