The Karachi Electric Supply Company has prepared a comprehensive rain preparedness plan and advised the general public to follow maximum safety measures during the predicted heavy rains and storm in the metropolis. Public awareness on rain hazards, reinforcement at control rooms and call centres, setting up of emergency maintenance teams and co-ordination with various related government agencies at local level are a few salient features of the KESC's plan.
The utility has advised the citizens not to touch water-soaked or fallen electricity wires, wet poles, and to stay away from standing rainwater pools. The general public is needed to fully understand their role to protect themselves from any electricity-specific harm in an emergency situation.-PR
