ISLAMABAD: The federal government has launched a sweeping crackdown on those involved in illegal takeover of power grid stations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, issuing strict directives to bring the perpetrators to justice. The Ministry of Energy (Power Division) issued the orders on Thursday, signaling a tough response to a series of high-profile incidents.
The move follows a high-level ministerial committee meeting, chaired by the prime minister on Sept 3, 2024, where officials outlined decisive measures to address the escalating lawlessness. Recent incidents involving prominent local figures had set the alarm bells ringing over growing threats to the region’s power infrastructure.
