 KE ordered to submit report about electrocutions, power break downs in Karachi

KARACHI: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has on Tuesday sought a report from the K-Electric over deaths as a result of electrocution and power break downs in Karachi during rain.

The NEPRA has expressed reservations over KE complaint centers’ not responding to the consumers’ calls. It wondered that why the electricity providing company did not take precautionary measures despite predictions for rain. The regulatory authority also directed it to take immediate measures to restore the electricity to the megalopolis.

It may be noted that residents of Korangi, New Karachi, AL Noor Society, Orangi Town and Landhi could not sleep whole the night because of suspension of power supply. While, incidents of electrocution took place in Lyari, Baldia Town, Qayumabad and Agra Taj Colony which left nine people dead.
