K-Electric on Wednesday claimed to have installed over 9600 meters as part of its ongoing anti-theft drive in several localities of the metropolis.
The power-utility is facilitating residents in applying for new connections and regularising their electricity supply through legal meter connections by fast-tracked processing and simple documentation requirements.
Of the total meters installed, the power utility's spokesman said over 6500 are low-cost meters with 1,900 such meters installed in Korangi, 1,100 in Gadap and 750 in Orangi. In addition to this, thousands of meters have also been installed for residents of Bin Qasim, Malir, Johar and Baldia.
At the same time, the company has intensified efforts against power-theft and removed hundreds of illegal connections from areas of Mianwali Colony, Firdous Colony and other pockets of the city including North Nazimabad, Bahadurabad, Baldia, Garden and Korangi.
"Thousands of consumers have already visited KE Facilitation Camps across Karachi and submitted their new connection applications ahead of the crackdown on 20th January 2019," he said.
He also requested the consumers who have outstanding dues and unregularised power connections to reach out to KE through their multiple customer touch points including 118 Contact Centre, Facebook and Twitter or KE Camps.
