Karachi Faces Heavy Rainfall; K-Electric Warns of Electrical Hazards
KARACHI – As heavy monsoon showers continue to batter Karachi, K-Electric has issued warnings over the unsafe use of electrical equipment during rainy conditions. A spokesperson for the power utility emphasized that operating devices like water pumps in standing water can be extremely dangerous.
Residents have been urged to keep a safe distance from TV and internet cables, broken wires, and other exposed electrical installations. The spokesperson also cautioned that illegal electricity connections and “kundas” pose a serious risk of fatal accidents.
To ensure public safety, K-Electric may temporarily suspend power supply in low-lying areas where water accumulation is reported. Field teams remain on high alert, monitoring conditions closely and ready to respond to emergencies.
