Will Nepra cancel KE license?

KARACHI: While the Port City is suffering from outages and citoyens of The Metropolis are dying due to pre-historic infrastructure,  the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) is still at the level of issuing show-cause notice to K-Electric (KE) apropos violating its contract.

KE has been asked by Nepra to justify within 15 days as to why action should not be taken against it under Sections 27B and 28 of the Nepra Act, rules, regulations, distribution code, tariff determination and terms and conditions of its licence for imposition of penalty for each violation and “suspension or revocation” of the licence for consistent failure to comply with all these legal requirements and responsibilities.
