LAHORE: Federal Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal has taken notice of registration of a case against 11 officers of the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and ordered a high-level inquiry into the matter.
According to a Lesco spokesman, the minister issued these directives after having a meeting with representatives of Lesco Engineers Association (Lesco-LEA).
Engineers Rana Waseem, Muhammad Ramzan Butt and Rai Asghar were prominent among others in the meeting. The spokesman quoted Ahsan Iqbal as saying that action would be taken against FIA officials responsible for registering a baseless case against Lesco officers.
The spokesman added that during the meeting, Lesco-LEA members informed the interior minister that the FIA case aimed at implicating Lesco officers in Iqbal Town Sub-Division fraud case without having solid evidence/reasons. The interior minister also assured the LEA members of developing engineers’ service structure at the earliest, the spokesman concluded.
