KARACHI, Jan 01 (INP): K-Electric (KE) continues its crackdown against power theft and non-payment of bills in Karachi.
In a statement, KE said that with the support of law enforcement agencies, the power utility conducted an operation in Malir, removing over 150 illegal connections (kunda) weighing 1,280 kilograms from KE’s infrastructure.
These illegal connections were responsible for the theft of approximately 110,000 units of electricity per month.
During the operation, an FIR was also registered against individuals involved in the kunda network operating in the area.
KE said that such drives are being conducted to reduce the loss of electricity due to theft and create a safer community for residents by removing hazards.
K-Electric urged its customers, community leaders, and local representatives to discourage electricity theft and ensure bills are paid on time.
“These measures are critical for the uninterrupted supply of electricity across the city. While K-Electric remains committed to its anti-theft campaign, the company emphasizes that eliminating such illegal activities should be a top priority for the government”, it said.
