According to Governor Sindh’s spokesperson, Imran Ismail had said that the unannounced load shedding in this intense summer season is an injustice to the citizens of Karachi.

He had further said that K-electric was being provided with additional gas by the federal government. However, intense load shedding is a cause of concern.

He also had said that HUBCO will provide provided additional furnace oil to K-electric. Ismail added that the federal government was responsible to provide 650 MW power to K-Electric. But it is ready to give an additional 500 MW to facilitate the citizens.
