Mr Asad Nisar Barkhurdaria Senior Vice Chairman S.I.T.E Association of Industry has expressed much concern on continuous strike by employees of KESC, as appearing in local news paper, as a result of which the industries in SITE area are without power for the last six days and the management is much worried because their production is suffering. Industries which have their own generation units are burning costly diesel.
While Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) continued to suffer disruption and subversion at the hands of CBA Union and its outside connivers for fourth consecutive day on Thursday, the industries are also suffering of burnt sub-stations, PMTs and disconnected electricity supply network at a number of places, forcefully closed down operation offices and complaints centers, blocked the repair and maintenance work and damaged and destroyed the utility’s assets, equipment and vehicles.
Complaints are receiving from the industries that their power supply is discontinued for the last four days in most of the cases but KESC management is helpless in repairing the faults. The faults are being attended throughout source by the KESC management but the pace is very slow.
Mr. Asad Nisar Barkhurdaria has demanded of the local administration and law enforcement agencies to provide protection to KESC’s employees, assets and equipment as directed by the Governor Sindh and under the orders of Sindh High Court, in order to normalize the disrupted power supply system. The Union’s subversion and interruption in the name of protest is totally uncalled for and unjustified.
