Electricity Crisis in TIP Employees Cooperative Housing Society Phase-II, Lahore – Residents Demand Immediate Action
Lahore – May 18, 2025:
The residents of Telephone Industries of Pakistan (TIP) Employees Cooperative Housing Society Phase-II, Lahore, have been living in darkness for several months due to the prolonged non-availability of electricity. Despite making repeated appeals to the Society Management, Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco), and the Punjab Government, no permanent solution has been offered, leaving hundreds of families in distress.
According to residents, the society initially received electricity through an arrangement with an adjacent society. However, that power supply was disconnected months ago due to unexplained reasons, and no alternative has been restored since.
Currently, the society is dependent on limited generator backup, providing electricity for only a few hours daily. This insufficient and unstable power supply is causing damage to household appliances, disrupting children’s education, and severely affecting the health and well-being of the elderly and sick.
Residents stress that they are regular bill-payers and have upheld their responsibilities, but the management has failed to uphold theirs. The society’s silence and inaction, combined with Lesco’s continued neglect, is deeply alarming.
The people of TIP Phase-II demand an immediate and permanent restoration of electricity and request high-level intervention to resolve this crisis urgently.
“We are tax-paying citizens and deserve the basic necessity of electricity. How much longer must our children study in candlelight and our elders suffer in heat?” – said one frustrated resident.
We urge all concerned authorities, especially Lesco, Punjab Energy Department, and the Chief Minister of Punjab, to address this humanitarian crisis without further delay
