Circuit breakers worth millions bought from blacklisted firms
Expressing dismay over purchase of 132kV circuit breakers worth millions of rupees by the distribution companies from blacklisted firms through local suppliers, the Ministry of Energy has asked all the Discos to submit a report on the issue. The report has been sought after the engineering associations of Gujranwala Electric Power Company (Gepco) and Multan Electric Power Company (Mepco) filed written complaints about the purchases, Dawn has learnt. “I…wonder how Discos, especially Gepco and Multan Electric Power Company, are daring placing purchase orders to the local firms involved in buying circuit breakers and other parts / equipment from the blacklisted firms,” deplored an official.
