K-Electric removes illegal power connections during an anti-theft operation in Karachi’s Garden area.
K-Electric (KE) removed around 103 illegal electricity connections during a crackdown in Karachi’s Garden area. The utility said the operation recovered nearly 220 kilogrammes of illegal hooking wires, commonly known as kundas.
The drive forms part of KE’s ongoing efforts to curb electricity theft, reduce distribution losses and improve public safety across the city.
Joint Operation Targets Illegal Connections
KE’s Inspection and Recovery teams conducted the operation with support from the utility’s security personnel and local police.
The teams dismantled unauthorised connections and addressed outstanding dues. The operation also aimed to reduce safety risks linked to illegal electricity consumption.
According to KE, illegal connections bypass established electrical safety mechanisms. They can endanger residents and damage the reliability of the power distribution network.

Unauthorised electricity use also contributes to distribution losses and affects supply efficiency in the areas concerned.
KE Urges Residents to Choose Legal Connections
A KE spokesperson said the utility would continue taking action against electricity theft.
The spokesperson urged consumers using illegal connections to obtain legal, metered electricity through official channels. KE also called on residents and community representatives to support efforts to eliminate power theft.
The utility said cooperation from local communities remains important for improving safety and protecting Karachi’s electricity distribution network.
