ISLAMABAD: While promising uninterrupted power supply during Eidul Azha, Islamabad Electric Supply Company (Iesco) has urged people not to dispose of animals waste near electrical installations.

Company’s Chief Executive Engineer Ch. Khalid Mahmood has stated that all possible measures have been finalised to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply across the entire Iesco region during the occasion of Eidul Azha.

He said that a central control room established in Islamabad will monitor 114 grid stations, 1,250 eleven-kV feeders, and more than 126 complaint offices round the clock under the supervision of senior officers.

“Complaint offices will remain fully active, while additional material and equipment have also been provided to field staff to promptly address any emergency situation,” he added.

Iesco Chief has appealed to consumers not to throw animal waste beneath electricity wires or near transformers, as birds and animals gathering there can cause interruptions in electricity supply and create safety hazards.
