KESC demands govt enforce law for saving assets
Staff Report
KARACHI: The Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) has demanded the government to enforce law and exercise its authority to get the utility’s offices and installations vacated from besieged miscreants.
According to a statement issued here on Tuesday, company strongly condemned the attack on SITE power plant and disruption of power generation to the industrial units. A mob of miscreants attacked the SITE power plant and forced the technical staff to leave the plant, resulting in disruption of plant operation and supply to SITE industrial area.
The union miscreants also stole a conductor wire on Tuesday between Location Nos 8 and 9 in the 132KV Pipri-KEPZ Circuit causing a tripping. Security at the circuit has been beefed up and repair work was completed in a short time. The conductor wire of 132KV Gharo-Dhabeji transmission line was also stolen the same day causing a tripping of the circuit from both sides.
The miscreants continue to besiege the KESC’s head offices, main offices at State Life Building and other important business and maintenance centres across the city as the administration is still following its policy of silence and non action.
