The Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) has shown great disappointment over the Karachi Administration’s silent watcher’s role when the armed men (must be called GHUNDAY ) have taken illegal possession of KESC’s operational nerve centre LDC and other important KESC offices despite imposition of section 144 and clear directives of the Sindh High Court.

The KESC has stated that the Government needs to enforce law and the superior courts’ (Sindh High Court) judgments and get all KESC offices reopened and free from armed-hooligans immediately at all costs.

The armed hooligans are keeping the employees who come to KESC during the night shift as hostages inside the KESC head offices. Senior management of the company and other staff have been forcefully stopped from entering their places of work at head offices, State Life Building and all the major offices and installations of KESC. The government has been avoiding playing its legal role to support the public service power utility to perform its responsibilities in a peaceful and tension free manner.
