IESCO notifies power suspension programme

Business Recorder reported that the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has set a planned outage schedule for Monday across several areas of its region. The utility linked the interruptions to required upkeep and regular development work on its network. An IESCO spokesperson named the localities affected, spanning Islamabad Circle, Rawalpindi City Circle and GSO Circle.

In Islamabad Circle, Scheme-2, Rehara and Shahzad Town will be without power from 7 am to 11 am, while Rehman Enclave and Waris Valley face a 5 am to 12 pm window. The Qadeer Road feeder in Rawalpindi City Circle is also affected during the 5 am to 12 pm period. In GSO Circle, the Taxila and Sangjani-Burhan lines are suspended from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, while the Kahuta City-Palandri and New Wah-Bahtermore lines face an 8:00 am to 6:00 pm outage.

IESCO apologised to consumers for the temporary inconvenience. The company added that power would return before the stated hours if the work ends sooner than planned.
