K-Electric (KE) launched another large-scale and coordinated action across its serviced industrial region as the company’s drive to curb electricity theft and enhance the safety and reliability of the power infrastructure continued.
During the most-recent operation, KE teams removed nearly 4,000 kilogrammes of illegal hooked connections (kunda). More than 6,200 illegal connections were cut off, said a statement issued on Wednesday.
The operation focused on 17 feeders where nearly 44 million units are being lost per year. The drive took place in KE’s five key industrial regions: Bin Qasim, Korangi Industrial Model Zone (KIMZ), North Karachi, SITE, and Uthal. A formidable force of 54 teams was deployed to dismantle illegal connections in areas including Haroonabad, Bela, Lakhra, Banodi, Hub Ameerabad, Sector 6-D, SITE Superhighway, Soomar Goth, Hadeed, Gaghar Phatak, Mehran Town 6-D, and Bilal Colony Korangi.
