KARACHI: Residents of P&T Colony staged a protest against prolonged power outages in their locality at the local office of the K-Electric in Defence on Monday.
They chanted slogans against the power utility and besieged the customer care office, known as IBC.
In a statement, the KE condemned “the mob attack” on its Defence IBC and said that “miscreants from the P&T Colony surrounded the IBC, hurled bricks to shatter its windows, and forced staff including women to seek refuge inside the office premises”.
It said that “pending dues from defaulters have already exceeded Rs520 million”.
