ISLAMABAD: Engr Ch Khalid Mahmood, Chief Executive of Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has urged all consumers to adopt necessary electrical safety measures during the ongoing monsoon season to ensure safety from any unpleasant electrical incident.
He advised consumers to avoid going near electrical installations during heavy rain, windstorms, or severe weather conditions.
