National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to approve a Rs3.28 per unit increase in the power tariff for consumers across Pakistan. This is the second such increase in the past few months, and it is sure to come as a shock to many Pakistanis who are already struggling to make ends meet.

The government has justified the increase by citing rising fuel costs and other factors. However, critics have argued that the government is not doing enough to reduce its own expenses and that the burden of these increases is being unfairly placed on the people.

The power tariff hike is likely to have a significant impact on the lives of ordinary Pakistanis. It will make it more difficult for people to afford their basic necessities, and it could also lead to an increase in inflation.

The government needs to take steps to alleviate the burden on the people and to ensure that everyone has access to affordable electricity. This could include providing subsidies to low-income households and investing in renewable energy sources.

I understand that this is a difficult time for many Pakistanis, and I hope that the government will take steps to help those who are most affected by this power tariff hike.
