KARACHI: Over 90 percent of KE's feeders have been powered up with teams working throughout the night for power restoration.

Rainwater entered over 50 percent of KE's substations during record-breaking rains in Karachi. Restored locations include among others Lee Market, Moosa Lane, Garden, parts of Gulistan-e-Johar, Landhi and Lyari, Korangi, I I Chundrigar, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, University road, North Karachi, Malir, DHA phase 1, 2 and 8.

Field staff is working at remaining locations as well, while restoration work is impeded in few phases of DHA, Saddar, Clifton and Orangi due to water having entered inside substations. Our teams are working with district and city administration teams to simultaneously drain accumulated rainwater and dry sensitive electrical equipments before powering the substations up.—PR
