K-Electric (KE) teams continue to remain at work to ensure safe, reliable and uninterrupted supply of power to Karachi and its surrounding areas during the lockdown alongside medical staff, security personnel and other front-line forces.
Amer Zia, Chief Distribution Officer K-Electric on a recent visit to areas of Korangi, Landhi, Shah Faisal, Defence and Lyari amongst others reviewed the work of the KE field-force in swiftly rectifying faults, ensured that safety precautions were being adhered to and that customers' complaints were promptly addressed. The services of the on-duty staff were also appreciated by Amer Zia, who stated that "by putting duty and service to the city ahead of personal advantage, teams at KE are the reason that Karachi remains bright even in these difficult times". Uninterrupted power-supply in Karachi is being ensured, despite the COVID-19 crisis and the limited mobility in city.
According to Amer Zia "all localised faults are being addressed as swiftly as possible and the local teams have been equipped with necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure their health and safety. In the current circumstances, we are closely monitoring the power position in the city and ensuring that strategic and critical locations including hospitals remain powered up."
Amer Zia said, "With the rise of temperatures and as more people stay in-doors on account of COVID-19, there has been increased electricity consumption by our residential customers. KE is serving this demand, whilst also providing relief to customers in the form of installments, deferred due dates and waiver of Late Payment Surcharges, but at the same time we urge customers to use electricity carefully and avoid wastage."-PR
