KARACHI: K-Electric has successfully dismantled illegal kunda-related encroachments in nine locations in Baldia with the help of law enforcement agencies.
Pursuant to providing a safe and reliable power supply to its valuable customers, K-Electric is continuing efforts against illegal encroachments and kunda network across Karachi.
Around 1500 illegal and unsafe connections from the KE network were being used to acquire electricity for both residential and commercial premises around the truck stand, Mauripur, Shamspir, Younusabad, Mushraf Colony, Timber Market, Dhobighat, Lee Market, and Nishtar Road were removed.
Similarly, during another raid in Mauripur vicinity, hazardous streetlight switches were also disconnected and removed from KE infrastructure. The power utility said the losses in those areas have now reached 45% along with outstanding dues which have now soared to Rs20 million.
During the crackdown, KE teams faced aggressive resistance from the area residents but teams remained committed. Residents have been urged by KE to refrain from such unsafe and criminal malpractices and shift to legal and safe metered connections instead. KE has also notified that more raids are expected over the coming days.
