COVID-19 lockdown: KE extends due dates following Sindh CM’s request
Power utility must still carry out its business activities and make necessary fuel purchases
Following Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Shah’s request to K-Electric (KE) on Sunday, the power utility company has decided to extend the due dates of all monthly electricity bills below Rs4,000 till April 10.
Moreover, according to a press release, KE will ensure an uninterrupted power supply to hospitals and residential areas, as the Sindh government imposed a complete lockdown on the province.
However, the statement added, the power utility must still carry out its business activities and make necessary fuel purchases.
As a result, it appealed to both the federal and provincial governments to pay their outstanding dues, which have soared to Rs240 billion, so that it could continue providing its services.
