K-Electric says loadsheding in Karachi will end in 48 hours.

KARACHI -- The K-Electric (KE) on Friday assured the authorities that it would end loadshedding in the metropolis in the next 48 hours after it was announced that the power company would be provided with an additional supply of gas and furnace oil.
