The Story
Gujranwala's Model Town feeder has been without reliable power for weeks. Since the start of August 2026, the area has seen 10 to 12 hours of unscheduled load-shedding a day, far beyond LESCO's published schedule of two hours in the morning and two in the evening. Outages strike without warning, often during Maghrib and again after midnight. A nearby government dispensary has lost the contents of its vaccine fridge twice as a result, and calls to the LESCO complaint centre have produced only a generic transformer-fault explanation that has not changed in over a week.
LESCO to identify and repair the underlying fault on the Model Town feeder and publish an accurate outage schedule for residents.

What happened
This kit covers the Model Town feeder in Gujranwala, where residents are getting 10 to 12 hours of unscheduled load-shedding a day, well beyond LESCO's own published two-hour morning and evening schedule.
Why it matters
Unscheduled, unpredictable outages are more than an inconvenience. A nearby government dispensary has lost the contents of its vaccine fridge twice because of the unscheduled cuts, and LESCO's complaint centre has given the same unexplained transformer-fault answer for over a week without any visible repair.

30-second script
HOOK: LESCO's schedule says two hours of load-shedding, morning and evening. Model Town in Gujranwala is getting ten to twelve. BODY: Since the start of August, power on this feeder has been cutting out without warning, often right at Maghrib, then again after midnight. A nearby government dispensary has lost the contents of its vaccine fridge twice because of it. Every call to the LESCO complaint centre gets the same answer: a transformer fault, unchanged for over a week. CTA: Tag LESCO and ask them to publish the real schedule and fix the fault.

This transformer's been sparking for days and nobody's come to fix it. #LoadSheddingPK
Official load-shedding schedule says 2 hours. We're at 9 hours today and counting. #LoadSheddingPK
Asked the feeder office why we're getting double the scheduled outage. No real answer, just shrugs. #LoadSheddingPK
