Naushahro Feroze: Residents of Naushahro Feroze have raised various concerns regarding the local electricity distribution system, alleging irregularities that they say are affecting power supply and creating additional pressure on the network.
According to consumers, some areas are reportedly benefiting from unauthorized or direct electricity connections, resulting in excessive load on the system. Residents claim that this additional burden is affecting transformers and contributing to load management issues across the city.
Citizens Raise Concerns
Among those voicing concerns is Muhammad Younis Rajpar, along with several other electricity consumers. They allege that the reported irregularities could potentially cause financial losses to the national exchequer if left unaddressed.
Residents also questioned the transparency surrounding electricity consumption at certain government installations, including non-operational tube wells and pumping stations. They have called for greater accountability and disclosure regarding the use of electricity units at such facilities.
Complaints of Unannounced Load Shedding
Citizens further complained that despite the availability of electricity in some areas, unannounced power outages and load shedding have become a frequent occurrence.
According to residents, these interruptions are disrupting daily life, affecting households, businesses, and routine activities. They argue that inconsistent power supply has created difficulties for consumers who regularly pay their electricity bills.
Demand for Transparent Investigation
Affected residents have appealed to the relevant authorities to conduct an impartial and transparent inquiry into the matter.
Their key demands include:
- Investigation of alleged unauthorized electricity connections.
- Review of transformer load and distribution practices.
- Examination of electricity usage at government installations.
- Measures to improve power supply and reduce outages.
- Legal action against any individuals found responsible for irregularities.
Call for System Improvements
Consumers say timely intervention is necessary to improve the efficiency of the electricity distribution system and restore public confidence.
They maintain that ensuring transparency, enforcing regulations, and addressing technical shortcomings could help reduce losses, improve service delivery, and provide more reliable electricity to residents of Naushahro Feroze.
