LAHORE: Justice Ali Baqar Najafi of Lahore High Court has sought details from Wapda and Lesco over casualties of the citizens due to the worn-out electricity wires in the City.

The Lahore High Court justice was hearing a petition in which the petitioner pleaded that the worn out electricity wires had caused several deaths of people. The petitioner said it was due to the negligence of the authorities concerned as no appropriate measures had been taken to avoid such gory incidents.
