LARKANA, April 19: The local managers of Hyderabad Electric Supply Company, Hesco, disconnected power supply to Moenjodaro site on Wednesday. Mohammed Amin Qureshi, the Deputy Director of the site, told this correspondent that Hesco had snapped power supply to the site without issuing any energy bill, thereby putting at risk the artifacts and articles kept at the museum.

It is dark around and anything could happen to the museum, Mr Qureshi said. Already, he said, a burglary had taken place at the site a few years back.

He talked to the executive engineer Niaz Shahani for restoring the power supply. But he declined saying that he could contact Hesco head office for the purpose. “We are ready to pay bills but Hesco had so far not sent even a single bill’ the Moenjodaro official concluded.
