Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi has issued directives to K-Electric (KE) and the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) to ensure uninterrupted electricity and gas supply during Sehri and Iftar times throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
The directive aims to facilitate citizens in performing their religious duties and preparing meals without inconvenience.
In a letter written by Assistant Commissioner Headquarters Rabia Syed to the Managing Director of Sui Gas and the Chief Executive Officer of KE, the importance of continuous utility supply during these critical times was emphasised.
The letter stated, “It has been observed that load shedding during these hours causes significant inconvenience to the public, especially affecting their ability to prepare meals and perform religious obligations.”
