Electric Bills Used To Put Pressure On Shahid

According to Shahid, a large part of electric is sent to metro and big cities but people do not use it with full responsibility. Meanwhile, people living in small city and remote area do not have full access to electricity. So the main problem is not about how much electricity we are producing but where is it going.
