FAISALABAD: Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) Employees Power Union General Secretary Mian Iftikhar Ahmed here on Thursday welcomed the two-scale upgradation of meter readers.
During a meeting with a delegation of meter readers here on Thursday at Regional Officer of Power Union, he expressed deep concern over promotion criteria for old meter readers. He said that they mostly retire from Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) as a meter reader after serving the company for 30 to 35 years.
He demanded the authority concerned approve Rs 5,000 allowance and motorcycles for meter readers. He said that 100 per cent accuracy target was not possible because in most cases electricity meters are too high to take their photographs properly.
