ISLAMABAD: In a determined effort to revive the economy and address the ongoing power crisis, the government has launched an extensive campaign against electricity theft.

During an intensive operation from June 2-9, significant sums were recovered from key cities: Rs35 million from Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, and Islamabad, and Rs15 million from Peshawar, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Quetta.
