The Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) on Wednesday said that it was shutting down a power plant in the SITE area as long as they are not provided proper security.

A spokesman for the power company said that no staff was present at the plant at the moment and KESC will not reopen the plant till the government provides full security to it.

Earlier, “CBA union workers entered the plant and kidnapped 40 of the staff present there”.

The power company claims that union workers were involved in the incident.

Union workers denied the claim and said that they were not involved in any such incident and added that they would welcome law enforcement agencies to take action against those responsible.
