Power outages likely in Jauhar, Baldia, Mehmoodabad today

K-Electric will undertake a critical maintenance activity at the Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Baldia Town and Mehmoodabad grids on Tuesday (today) to ensure the stability and reliability of power supply to consumers residing in these areas.

The activity requires a shutdown from 9am to 6pm for the Jauhar grid, from 9am to 6pm for the Baldia grid, and from 9am to 6pm for the Mehmoodabad grid, during which there may be temporary interruption of supply in areas connected to these grids.

“Comparing maintenance and technical faults to load-shedding is unfair,” reads a KE press statement. The power utility has asked its customers to reach out through social media platforms or via the 118 call centre number for further guidance.
