Karachi is facing major power breakdown since first Ramadan.
In response of recent power breakdown K-Electric (KE) stated that back to back power breakdown is due to tripping of electric lines because of heavy humidity.
K-Electric spokesperson, while talking to local news channel ;GEO News’ said “We are installing new lines to control the situation arising because of humidity,”
Ahmad speaking to local news channel “Geo News” said “There have been investments made by the K-Electric. The profits of K-Electric were not paid a dividend in the stock market. All were invested within the system and its audit reports are available.”
Ahmad said, “such humidity does not come every year – we are managing the situation.”
The KE representative reiterated that not every area of the city was going through load shedding, further adding that the power utility company did not shut any plant.
Earlier today, hearing a petition, the Sindh High Court (SHC) ordered the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) to take action against KE with regard to unannounced load shedding.
The two-member bench, headed by Justice Irfan Saadat Khan, also ordered Nepra to take all legal actions against the power utility company, adding that the city’s sole power utility should also follow Nepra’s orders.
