In the first phase, postal staff will deliver electricity bills in one subdivision of each postal circle with support from DISCO staff. During this phase, any problems or weaknesses in the system will be identified and fixed.
“The process of handing over the printing and delivery of bills to Pakistan Post will be done step by step,” the official said.
He added that to ensure timely delivery of bills to over 50 million domestic, commercial, and agricultural consumers, the availability of postal routes and staff strength will also be reviewed.
