Electricity consumers will face an additional charge of Rs4.12 per unit in their January 2024 bills due to a hike in power prices by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) for monthly fuel adjustment. Lifeline and K Electric customers are exempt from this increase. Notably, NEPRA previously approved a Rs2.87 per unit increase for electricity costs in Karachi. The caretaker Federal Minister for Energy Power and Petroleum, Muhammad Ali, mentioned plans to reduce electricity tariffs for industries, citing the need to support the industrial sector for job creation and exports. The government aims to address issues like circular debt and high urea prices. #Dailypremiere #NEPRA #ElectricityTariff #EnergySector #Pakistan #voiceofentrepreneurs #pakistannews

The Islamabad High Court reinstated the 10-year disqualification period for corruption convicts sentenced by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

The decision came during a plea filed by NAB against the reduction, specifically in the case of PML-N politician Faiq Ali Jamali. The move restores Jamali's 10-year disqualification, affecting his candidacy for the upcoming elections. #Dailypremiere #IHC #NAB #DisqualificationPeriod #voiceofentrepreneurs #Pakistan

The Lahore High Court dismissed PTI's plea challenging the Election Commission's decision on intra-party polls and the 'bat' symbol. PTI leader Umar Aftab Dhillon's petition was deemed inadmissible. He sought the symbol's reinstatement, arguing the ECP exceeded its authority. Despite citing a PHC verdict, the LHC maintained the PHC decision was pending. The government's lawyer called the plea non-maintainable, stating the PTI leader wasn't directly affected. Previously, the PHC had restored the ECP's ruling, stripping PTI of its symbol and leadership. #Dailypremiere #LHC #PTI #ElectionCommission #voiceofentrepreneurs #pakistannews
