KARACHI: All residential power consumers will remain exempted from loadshedding during the Eid holidays.

A spokesperson for the K-Electric said that the power utility was committed to providing relief to its customers, and as part of summer preparedness it had strengthened its network and system and had beefed up the on-ground work force through capacity building and technological advancement.

“Aimed at facilitating customers in the best possible organisational capacity, KE staff will ensure increased vigilance. Moreover, KE teams will remain operational round the clock during the Eid holidays to address any localised issues,” he added.
