KARACHI   -   K-Electric has penned a letter to the Sindh Government, expressing deep concern over outstanding electricity bills dating back to  January. The letter, addressed to the Finance and Energy Secretary as well as the Mayor of Karachi, highlights the pressing issue of non-payment, signaling a staggering total of Rs. 9.2 billion owed to the power utility.
