KARACHI: Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh asked National Electric Power Regulatory Authority to immediately address issues of load-shedding and overbilling by K Electric. In meeting with Nepra Chairman Touseef Hasan Farooqi here, he said that power distribution companies should be made bound to restore power supply and transmission system in flood-hit areas of province.

He informed Nepra Chief that there were also several complaints of forced dismissal of KE employees from power utility. He said that Sindh government might constitute a parliamentary commission with approval of provincial Cabinet on issue of retrenchment in sole power supplier in city, if required.

He informed Nepra Chairman that biggest problem in province was replacement and repair of damaged transformers due to which electricity could not be restored in several parts of province for a week.
