The operation aims to recover a staggering 4 billion rupees in arrears in the HESCO Mirpurkhas Division and 8 billion rupees in the HESCO Circle.
HESCO officials, including SE Amir Ahmad Memon and XEN Ali Raza Bhatti, revealed that many consumers have refused to pay their bills despite being offered easy installment plans.
