THE KESC has announced increased loadshedding for a further half hour from May 16 in excess of the usual loadshedding hours. This is not justified. Also, during late-night hours electricity goes off without any prior notice. Why should the KESC test our patience in this hot and humid weather?

We would like to know on which day and date the KESC will launch a massive crackdown against kunda users and electricity thieves? The KESC should take the following measures:  (i) Arrangements should be made to eliminate or reduce loadshedding to the minimum.

(ii) Loadshedding should be stopped during late-night hours as this practice is depriving genuine and regular pay masters of the electricity for which they pay all their bills regularly on time.

(iii) Dues should be recovered from those who are defaulters and stern action should be taken without any discrimination against ‘kunda’ users and electricity thieves without any let or fear.
