Privatisation of KESC created electricity crisis

Ijaz Durrani also took to the task some political parties, which wanted to shift the blame on the sitting democratic government, saying that these parties were licking the boots of previous rulers and playing the role of silent spectators.

It was only the PPP, which raised the issue of power crisis despite being in opposition at that time and had been warning that Karachi would face great power shortage if PML-Q agents were not stopped from loot and plunder in the KESC, he alleged.

He said power crisis was almost overcome during Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s government and loadshedding was ended in the city adding that democratic government was taking steps to rid the city of power crisis and it would be resolved soon.
