Peshawar: PESCO Clarifies Electric Pole Relocation Amid Road Construction

PESHAWAR: The Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) has issued a clarification regarding the relocation of electric poles in the middle of roads, which has raised concerns among local residents and commuters. The company stated that the move is part of ongoing infrastructure development aimed at improving road safety and traffic flow.

PESCO officials explained that the relocation is necessary due to the expansion of roadways and the installation of new utility lines. “We are committed to ensuring that our operations do not disrupt public safety and are working closely with local authorities to minimize inconvenience,” a PESCO spokesperson said. The company has assured that all necessary precautions are being taken during the relocation process.

This initiative is expected to enhance the overall infrastructure in Peshawar, potentially reducing traffic congestion and accidents caused by poorly placed utility poles. However, residents have expressed concerns about the timing and execution of the project, urging PESCO to communicate more effectively about the changes.

Looking ahead, PESCO plans to hold community meetings to address public concerns and provide updates on the project timeline. The company aims to complete the relocation by the end of the month, ensuring that all safety measures are in place before the roads are fully operational.
