Karachi (Web Desk): K-Electric has started a citywide maintenance drive, causing planned load shedding in many Karachi areas today. Residents should check if their area is affected.

 K-Electric has launched a major maintenance campaign across Karachi, leading to temporary electricity suspension in dozens of areas. The planned work is part of the company’s effort to improve the power network and reduce the chances of unexpected outages in the future.

According to K-Electric, electricity supply will remain suspended in several parts of the city during the maintenance work. Most of the scheduled activities will take place between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, although some feeders may remain offline for longer or shorter periods depending on operational requirements.
