He also directed them to reach out to the people and explain the reasons for the short fall in power supply. He said that people will understand if they are given factual position saying that consumers should be informed of the facts through print and electronic media.

Chief Secretary directed the PDD officers to issue statements explaining the reasons of outages and the actions taken by the department and the same should be shared with social media and Information Department.

He further asked the Power Development Department (PDD) to expedite installation of meters in rural areas. He said that the meters, spared from areas where smart metering is completed, should be installed in rural areas without any delay.
