ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has taken notice of the debilitating load-shedding gripping Karachi, and has convened a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Energy on the 23rd of April.
The present energy crisis in Pakistan’s largest city stems from K-electric’s (KE) inability to meet the city’s demands.
K-electric, in turn, has claimed that the reduced generation of electricity is due to Sui Southern Gas Company curbing gas supplies to KE.
Severe load-shedding of up to 12 hours has plagued Karachi, with the worst burden falling on blocks 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14 of Federal B Area, C-1, C and No. 10 localities of Liaquatabad, Orangi Town, Korangi, Safoora Goth, Scheme 33, Abul Hasan Isphahani Road, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Malir, Model Colony, New Karachi and North Karachi.
Moreover, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday, briefed the National Assembly’s Standing Committee over the load-shedding crisis, and held KE responsible for the blackouts.
