Pakistan, Aug. 7 -- Minister of State for Power Division Abdul Rahman Khan Kanju on Wednesday informed the National Assembly that the Power Division had already filed a review petition with the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) against the recent Karachi Electric tariff adjustment decision.

Responding to various questions raised in the National Assembly, the minister said the ministry was committed to pursuing the matter for an early decision, adding that the Power Division categorically opposed the increase in the tariff.
