What happened
A special house committee in the Sindh Assembly summoned the CEOs of K-Electric, HESCO, and SEPCO to explain ongoing load-shedding in Karachi. K-Electric failed to send its CEO, sending only distribution officials instead. Lawmakers warned the utilities could face maximum legal action if the power crisis remains unresolved.
