Pakistan's governance failure sparks digital breakdown across Lahore
Oct 22, 2025
Internet and TV cable operators in Lahore have lashed out at the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) for what they call an illegal and reckless campaign of cutting their cables across the city, accusing the utility of acting without any legal notice or consultation. The operators urged the Punjab government and the Ministry of Energy to take strict action against Lesco for "disrupting public communication services" and causing inconvenience to millions of users, as reported by Dawn.
