      <title>K-Electric steps up recovery drive with community camps across Karachi</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330446544/k-electric-steps-up-recovery-drive-with-community-camps-across-karachi</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;K-Electric has intensified its push to improve recoveries, holding four customer facilitation camps in neighbourhoods facing high electricity theft and persistent bill defaults.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The camps were set up at Perfume Chowk in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, P&amp;amp;T Colony in Gizri, Surjani and Machar Colony in Lyari.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KE teams assisted residents with bill payments, instalment plans, new connections, and meter- or billing-related issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CEO Moonis Alvi visited the camps at P&amp;amp;T Colony and Perfume Chowk, where he met residents and urged them to support the company’s recovery efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Electricity rates are set by the federal government. While we cannot change the tariff, we can ease the payment process,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Where recoveries are low and dues remain high, we arrange these camps to help customers. Improved payments lead to better area profiles, which enables uninterrupted supply.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He emphasised that the power system requires “100% of customers to pay 100% of their bills on time” to operate reliably.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Residents were also briefed on safe internal wiring and the hazards of illegal connections, which KE says remain a major cause of losses in several localities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the utility, hundreds of customers committed to payments, and the camps collectively recovered Rs26 million in a single day. KE said reducing theft and ensuring timely billing remain key to lowering load-shedding and improving supply reliability across the city.&lt;/p&gt;
