The FESCO Shahpur Sub-Division office is located on Kachery Road, near the Civil Court in Shahpur town — the same road cluster where the AC office, Tehsildar, and Sub-Registrar are all situated, making it possible to handle multiple government errands in a single trip. The sub-division covers Shahpur Tehsil's 72,000+ consumer connections across 22 feeders, spanning Shahpur town, the canal-irrigated agricultural belt, and the more sparsely settled areas near the Mianwali border.
Tube-well connections make up a large portion of the Shahpur Sub-Division's workload. The process for a new agricultural tube-well connection follows the same steps as the Bhalwal Sub-Division: Fard Malkiat, CNIC, site sketch, and security deposit via Bank Challan. However, consumers in Shahpur's western chak areas (70-110 series) should be aware that feeder capacity constraints in some zones mean new connection applications may be placed on a waiting list pending infrastructure upgrade. Ask the SDO office directly about the current connection capacity status for your specific chak before paying the security deposit.
A recurring issue in Shahpur Tehsil's rural areas is voltage fluctuation — particularly in the evening hours (7:00 PM to 10:00 PM) when household loads surge simultaneously. If your home or agricultural motor is experiencing persistent low voltage (below 200V), file a written voltage complaint at the SDO Shahpur office mentioning your feeder name (available on your electricity bill) and the hours when the problem occurs. The SDO can initiate a technical investigation and recommend transformer tap adjustments or line upgrades to resolve the issue.
For residents of the more remote western border villages near Mianwali, the nearest FESCO office is the Shahpur SDO, not Mianwali DISCO (which serves a different company area). Electricity bills from this area carry FESCO reference numbers. Emergency fault reporting for rural areas, especially in the border zone, can also be routed through the village Numberdar who has a direct channel to the line superintendent on duty.
Pro Tip from Local Experience
Always call 118 first — it logs your complaint with a reference number and creates an official trail. Visit the SDO office in person only if the phone complaint is not resolved within 24 hours for faults, or 7 days for billing/connection issues.
