**
LAHORE: Besides Raiwind, other areas in the city of Lahore only have one feeder to provide uninterrupted power supply, officials of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) briefed the Senate Standing Committee on Monday.
A senior official of the Lahore Electric Supply Corporation (Lesco) told the committee that no VIP is exempted from the load-shedding in Lahore, except the residents of Raiwind, where two feeders have been installed to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
He stated that Raiwind was given double feeders because the prime minister and chief minister live there.
PESCO:
The officials from Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (Pesco) said that except for hospitals and the High Court building, no VIP office has been exempted from the load-shedding. However, the official stated that special generators are being provided for any important VIP event to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
The Pesco official added that there is no more than one feeder installed in any VIP office in the province. According to him, various government departments in Peshawar are defaulters of Rs 1 billion to Wapda of which Rs 500 million was received recently following the disconnection of a driver and they have assured to pay the remaining amount by the end of this month.
