Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday ordered a 10-day extension for electricity bill payments, according to an official announcement.

The Power Division issued a notification today in this regard, directing all electricity distribution companies to implement the decision.

This decision comes after a countrywide backlash against inflated electricity prices and outcry by power consumers against the rising costs and economic pressures of recent months.

The extension will apply to the due dates of electricity bills for July and August 2024, providing additional time for consumers to manage their payments.
