Karachi: Showing deep concerns over the declining law and order situation in the Lyari area, Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) has demanded security cover in the troubled areas for restoration of five tripped feeders and 19 damaged PMTs, which have so far been unreachable to the standby maintenance teams due to law and order situation in that locality.
KESC said that 10 percent of the total 180,000 consumers in the Lyari area are still deprived of electricity supply because of miscreants’ direct firing on power installations, and that Law Enforcement agencies must step in soon to provide immediate relief to the stranded residents.
Earlier, KESC teams had gambled into the risk zone as deep as they could while protection from law enforcement agencies was missing as their workers did not reach on spot in spite of repeated guarantees from authorities.
