K-Electric (KE) has announced a comprehensive power supply plan for Ashura, exempting 371 feeders across Karachi from scheduled loadshedding to facilitate religious activities and public convenience. The exemption covers areas hosting Ashura processions, majalis, and associated gatherings, and will remain in effect from the evening of 8th Muharram until the morning of 11th Muharram.
Priority Feeders and Coordination
Among the 371 high-priority feeders, 244 are medium- and high-loss feeders that would normally face scheduled loadshedding but will now remain exempt. KE has coordinated extensively with relevant stakeholders and authorities to ensure seamless power supply along procession routes and at congregation points.
KE’s operational teams will be on high alert, with additional technical resources deployed to respond promptly to any network faults or emergencies.
Bill Payment Relief
As an additional customer facilitation measure during the Ashura holidays, KE has extended the payment due dates for electricity bills falling on 25th and 26th June 2026. Customers can now pay these bills by 29th June 2026 without any late payment surcharge. All scheduled banks and authorised payment collection centres have been informed to accept payments within the revised timeline.
For further support, customers may contact KE’s 24/7 helpline (118) or use KE’s digital platforms.
Safety Advisory
KE encouraged the public to exercise caution around electricity infrastructure, particularly overhead power lines, and maintain a safe distance from electrical installations to ensure a safe and peaceful observance of Ashura.
Customers are also encouraged to utilise KE’s digital platforms, including the KE Live App, WhatsApp service, and official social media channels, for convenient access to bill payments, complaint registration, outage information, and account management.
