KARACHI: K-Electric denied reports of unannounced electricity load-shedding in Karachi on Wednesday. After the installation of new equipment at the Bin Qasim Power Plant, power supply in the city is in accordance with pre-set schedule, said a K-Electric spokesman. In a contempt petition filed against K-Electric, the Sindh High Court (SHC) conducted a hearing early on Wednesday. The court was informed by K-Electric’s lawyer that load shedding being conducted in the metropolis falls under a load management exercise. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) had earlier been directed to take action against K-Electric but had failed to do so, the court was informed.
