KARACHI: (HRNW) The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has asked K-Electric to ensure prevention of mishaps during the rainfall, sources said.
The power utility should take steps ahead of the monsoon season to avoid repeat of the incidents took place last year during the rainfall, sources said.
NEPRA sources said that the regulatory authority had found K-Electric responsible for 19 deaths out of 49 fatalities by electrocution during the rainfall in previous year.
The power utility was not fined over the electrocution deaths in Karachi last year, NEPRA sources said.
The electric power regulatory authority had directed K-Electric to complete earthing of the electricity poles before the rainy weather but the power company has yet to complete the earthing work of the poles, sources said.
NEPRA had also directed the company to submit its report about earthing of all electricity poles.
