K Electric Statement
K-Electric issued a statement “In response to PTAPA’s (cable operators) statement, K-Electric has strongly reasserted its determination to continue its drive against illegal encroachment of its infrastructure by TV and internet cables which are a major safety hazard. In various conversations with the local authorities including Commissioner Karachi and with KE, PTAPA assured they will shift their illegal and unsafe wires to safe underground system.
The first phase of this project on 50 locations was supposed to complete by July 20, 2020. In broad interest of public, KE had also offered technical support to cable operators to ensure project is completed before start of the monsoon season. However, despite the deadline certain cable operators have failed in their commitments.
KE is determined to continue its action against illegal cable tv and internet in the interest of the safety of the people of Karachi and ask citizens to support them in removing this menace of unsafe and unsightly mess from Karachi.
KE’s monopoly must end selfish billing has made people life miserable as far as the cable operators of TV and internet must also conceal their wires underground as it certainly gives Karachi a shitty look
Funny hearing the word “commitment” from KE. They have no commitment to their customers yet are trying to make people believe they care about the citizens. They are a mafia and have gotten out of control. And no can stop them because either the authorities are involved in this mafia or don’t care about the other 99%
