Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) on Tuesday moved the Sindh High Court (SHC) seeking immediate relief against prolonged and unannounced loadshedding in Karachi by K-Electric during heatwave situation.
The petition, submitted by City Council Opposition Leader Advocate Saifuddin, calls for urgent hearing, stressing the need to restrain K-Electric from ‘unjustified’ power outages across the city.
Advocate Saifuddin argued that Karachi is facing extreme heat, posing a serious risk of heatwave, and added that the power cuts are severely affecting students, especially during the ongoing intermediate examinations.
The petition also urges the court to bind K-Electric to comply with NEPRA regulations, ensuring uninterrupted supply and accountability in power distribution.
