Four Bahria Town Lahore projects are without electricity due to Lesco disconnecting power over Rs. 682 million in unpaid bills. Residents, who claim regular payments to management, are protesting the power cut, impacting families, and demanding immediate resolution from Bahria Town.
Four Bahria Town Lahore projects are currently without electricity after the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) disconnected their power supply. The action stems from over Rs. 682 million in unpaid electricity bills across these four major housing developments, which have been pending for a prolonged period.
Lesco officials confirmed that repeated reminders had been issued, but the outstanding amount remained unsettled. Lesco CEO Muhammad Ramzan Butt stated that power restoration is contingent upon the full clearance of all pending dues by the housing projects.

Residents expressed significant anger and worry, claiming they received no prior notification of the impending power cut. Many highlighted severe difficulties for households with children, elderly members, and patients reliant on electrical appliances. They argue it is unfair, as they regularly pay their electricity charges to the housing administration.
A protest is planned by residents in front of Bahria Town offices after Friday prayers. They demand immediate action and transparency from Bahria Town management to resolve the issue swiftly, ensuring normalcy returns to the affected areas.
