The period of loadshedding in parts of Lyari has gone up to over 15 hours per day. This is insane. There can be no justification at all. The situation is affecting the mental and physical health of the residents. The value of their properties has dropped significantly due to this very issue, which means the residents are now bound to stay because they cannot plan to sell their houses and move to some other area in search of mental peace. Several complaints have been lodged with all the relevant authorities, but nothing has brought about any positive change in the situation. The only reason cited constantly by K-Electric (KE) is line losses. By KE’s own account, the recovery rate from the area is 70pc. Now, how are people supposed to act against line losses?
