KARACHI, Oct 24: Karachi Electric Supply Company has issued final disconnection notice to Sind Police after the Department failed to pay accumulated electricity charges of Rs 1.2 billion against various connections despite repeated communications and reminders.
In the final disconnection notice, KESC urged the Police Department to pay the dues within seven working days. Otherwise, under NEPRA consumer service manual and Electricity Act of 1910, not only the electricity connections would be cut without any further reference or intimation, but the sanctioned load of these connections would also stand canceled.
Earlier, KESC had sent a final payment notice to Police Department for imbursement of the overdue amount within 15 working days. However, this period lapsed without the Department discharging its liabilities.
In a letter to Inspector General Sind Police on Oct 23, KESC expressed hope that he would realize the gravity of the situation and would take urgent steps for immediate settlement of the entire outstanding amount of Rs 1.2 billion as at September 2013.
