K-Electric is committed to curb the menace of electricity theft from Karachi and its adjoining areas. The power utility has condemned a recent attack on its Baldia team after the team had disconnected the power supply to Shamspir Island due to theft and non-payment by area residents. A mob from the area attacked KE's team and its vehicle, damaging the van and threatening the staff.
Spokesperson KE said that the area of Shamspir Island in Mauripur is a Very High Loss (VHL) area where the paying ratio is as low as 8 percent, which makes it difficult for K-Electric to run its operations there. The outstanding dues of the same area stand in millions and despite notices and camps, the area residents avoid paying their monthly bills.-PR
