The government has issued orders to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity during Sehri and Iftar in the holy month of Ramazan, the Power Division said on Tuesday.

On the instructions of Power Minister Awais Leghari, the Power Division has issued standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all power distribution companies, including K-Electric, to ensure smooth power supply during the fasting hours.

The federal minister directed all distribution companies (DISCOs) to immediately address consumer complaints and instructed their chief executive officers to establish control rooms to monitor electricity supply during Ramazan.

Authorities have also issued orders to deal with high-loss areas in line with the ongoing anti-electricity theft campaign.

The Power Division said the measures aim to prevent an increase in arrears and transmission and distribution losses. They added that load shedding will not be carried out during Sehri and Iftar, including in areas with high losses.
