Power breakdowns

Published November 1, 2014

I WOULD like to draw the attention of the K- Electric authorities to the frequent breakdowns of electricity in our locality, Sector 11A, North Karachi .

It has almost become a regular feature for the last one month that there is a power breakdown daily from dusk till late night. Students can’t study without any electricity. Besides, there are swarms of mosquitoes to suck the blood of the people living in this area.

Moreover, the loadshedding causes a serious problem for a number of hospitals and maternity homes that are in our area.

On behalf of the residents of the area, I request K-Electric authorities to restore a regular power supply to our locality at the earliest.
