On Thursday morning the 9th of July 2009, when I was preparing to leave for my office around 7 am KESC wished me good morning in its traditional style, with a power failure. It came as surprise to me cause usually we do not experience power outages at that hour. Lucky for me that I had prepared my clothes and other things in the night, so KESC was not successfully in getting me out of wits.

I was thinking how lucky I was to have escaped and at the same time also felt bad for the people of my area, who due to the power outage at this hour will not be able to make it to their offices either on time or in proper dressing. I left for my office with no power at my home, thinking that at least now I will get some power at night.

But I forgot that KESC spares no one, so how can I be any different. KESC had gone mad as it had failed in driving me crazy like so many others by the early power outage. So it sought to take revenge and when the power supply resumed numerous high voltage shock waves were sent, blowing up many appliances and stabilizers and thus taking its revenge not only on me but my entire family. If you want proof, this is just the beginning:

So now KESC has succeeded in making me mad. And now I want KESC to make good all the losses that we and the entire area has suffered and also we need a written guarantee from KESC, that shuch an incident will not take place again other wise all the loss will be on KESC and it will be the liability of the KESC to make good all the damage that has been caused.

I would like the media to give this issue a proper coverage. I would like people from GEO TV, AAJ TV, Samaa TV, NEWS One, etc to please come forward and do a proper investigation as to how the incident took place and what are the guarantees that it will never happen again.

Also I would also be seeking advice from everyone on what sort of legal action can be taken in this regard against the KESC. All of you are always welcome to contact me at any time.

The reason I am putting so much emphasis on it is that KESC is now under the management of an international organization and incidents like these should not be tolerated at any cost what so ever. If others have experinced something similar please share it here.
