Earlier on July 5, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders had taken K-Electric, Karachi’s sole power distributor, to task, over unannounced, prolonged power outages tormenting denizens in the hot and humid weather in the port city.
Speaking outside the power distributor’s office, Fridous Shamim Naqvi, who is also the Sindh Assembly’s opposition leader, had said troubling power cuts were going on since the advent of the summer season that year.
Stressing a need for finding a solution to the city’s power woes, he had demanded that the government end K-Electric’s monopoly over the supply of power to the country’s financial hub.
