The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that the federal government was not fulfilling its responsibility and addressing the problems being faced by the people of Karachi because of excessive and unannounced loadshedding.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed, heard a suo moto case pertaining to excessive and unannounced loadshedding in Sindh. The court expressed dissatisfaction over the report submitted by the federal government and the National Electric and Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) and sought a comprehensive report on measures being taken to resolve the issue.

Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed observed that every institution was taking advantage of the shortcomings of the government, adding that K-Electric was not benefiting the citizens of Karachi. “K-Electric has become people’s master after hijacking them”, the CJP remarked, adding that the price of electricity had again increased in Sindh.
