Lahore Electric Supply Company suspends officials after defence minister files bribery complaint regarding burnt transformer replacement dispute in Lahore.
The Lahore Electric Supply Company has suspended several officials, including two linemen, following a bribery complaint filed by the defence minister. The complaint stems from a dispute over the replacement of a burnt transformer in Lahore. The defence minister alleged that LESCO officials demanded a bribe to replace the transformer, which sparked the complaint.
The suspended officials are currently under investigation, and LESCO has denied any evidence of bribery. The company has it is taking the complaint seriously and is cooperating fully with the investigation. The burnt transformer had caused a power outage in the area, and LESCO workers were in the process of repairing and laying new electrical wires on poles to restore power.

The suspension of the officials is seen as a positive step towards addressing the issue, and it is hoped that it will help to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The investigation into the complaint is ongoing, and it is expected that more information will be released in the coming days. The incident has highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability within LESCO, and it is hoped that the company will take steps to address these issues. The people of Lahore are waiting to see how the investigation will unfold and what actions will be taken against those found guilty of bribery.
