ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Ek sarkari bayan ke mutabiq hukoomat ne Pakistan ki tamam bijli taqseem kar companiyon ke transformers par smart meters lagane ka faisla kiya hai, aur is ke liye bain-ul-aqwami qarz dehindagan se arbon dollar ke qarze hasil karegi.
Yeh faisla wafaqi wazir barae iqtisadi umoor Ahad Cheema ki zer-e-sadarat ijlas mein kiya gaya, jis mein taqseem kar companiyon, yani DISCOs, ke taraqqiyati mansoobon aur maali zaruriyat ka jaiza liya gaya.
Bayan ke mutabiq Economic Affairs Division funds ka intezam kar raha hai aur maali muawanat ke liye World Bank aur Asian Development Bank se baat cheet karega. Qarz ki raqam ya timeline ka elaan nahin kiya gaya.
Transformer meter kya karta hai
In meters ka maqsad bijli chori aur zaid billing par qaboo pana hai. Transformer par laga meter yeh record karta hai ke us se munsalik gharon aur dukanon ko kitni bijli gayi, jis se DISCO kisi ilaqe ko faraham ki gayi bijli ka wahan ke sarifeen ke billon se muwazna kar sakti hai.
Donon ke darmiyan farq hi se chori aur line losses ka pata chalta hai. Hukoomat ka kehna hai ke yeh meters zaid billing se nimatne mein bhi madad denge.
Yeh mansooba aise waqt mein samne aaya hai jab hukoomat 2027 ke awail mein apni pehli teen taqseem kar companiyon, Islamabad, Faisalabad, aur Gujranwala, ki nijkari ki tayyari kar rahi hai.
