Asad Nisar Barkhurdaria, Senior Vice Chairman, SITE Association of Industry has expressed serious concern over continuous strike by employees of KESC. The industries in the SITE area are without power for the last six days and the production is suffering badly. Industries that have their own generation units are using costly diesel.
The Karachi Electric Supply Company continued to suffer disruption and subversion at the hands of CBA union. The industries are also suffering burnt sub-stations; PMTs and disconnected electricity supply network at a number of places. KESC staff has forcefully closed down operation offices and complaints centers, stopped the repair and maintenance work and damaged and destroyed the utility's assets, equipment and vehicles.
Complaints are being received from the industries that their power supply is discontinued for last four days in most of the cases but KESC management is helpless in repairing the faults. Asad Nisar Barkhurdaria has demanded of the local administration and law enforcement agencies to provide protection to KESC's employees, assets and equipment as directed by the Governor Sindh and under the orders of Sindh High Court, in order to normalise the power supply system. The union's subversion and interruption in the name of protest is totally uncalled for and unjustified.-PR
