I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concerns and draw your attention to an alarming issue affecting the residents of our city: the exorbitant electricity bills from K-Electric.

Over the past few months, the people in our community have witnessed a significant surge in their electricity bills, with many customers receiving bills that far exceed their typical consumption. The sudden and substantial in­crease in these bills has placed fi­nancial strain and distress on the affected households.

While I understand that elec­tricity rates can fluctuate due to various factors, the magnitude of these increases is perplexing and demands a thorough investigation. Many residents have expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency in billing, result­ing in a loss of trust in K-Electric, our sole electricity provider. It is crucial that K-Electric provide de­tailed, itemised bills to customers, allowing them to verify the accura­cy of the charges.

Furthermore, the timing of these skyrocketing bills has been partic­ularly distressing, as many fami­lies are already grappling with the economic repercussions of the on­going pandemic. High electricity bills have only added to their fi­nancial burdens and raised con­cerns about the affordability of es­sential services.

I kindly request that your news­paper take up this matter and in­vestigate the reasons behind these excessive bills. Shedding light on this issue will not only provide clarity to affected customers but also hold K-Electric accountable for its billing practices. It is essential that K-Electric addresses this issue promptly, ensures transparency in its billing process, and provides relief to customers who have been unfairly burdened with high bills.

I urge you to consider the im­pact of this issue on our commu­nity and to use your platform to advocate for the rights and in­terests of the affected residents. Together, we can work towards a fair and just resolution to this pressing concern.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope to see your newspaper play a crucial role in bringing about positive change for our community.

AYESHA KHAN,

Karachi.
