Minister for Power Omar Ayub Khan on Tuesday announced that there would be no load shedding across the country during the Eidul Fitr holidays. In a video message issued on his twitter account, the minister said that out of 8,790 feeders, no load shedding was being carried out on 80 percent of the feeders in the country. Ayub said it was for the first time that there was no load shedding during Sehr and Iftar in the holy month of Ramazan, for which Prime Minister Imran Khan had given special instructions. The minister said the government was determined to carry forward the campaign against electricity theft across the country. Last Friday, K-Electric had announced to provide uninterrupted power supply to residential consumers during Eidul Fitr holidays in Karachi. A K-Electric spokesperson had said that in order to provide maximum relief to Karachiites, the power utility had decided to exempt the city from load shedding during the Eid holidays.
