ISLAMABAD/MURREE: Amidst the challenging and snow-capped terrain of Murree, the Islamabad Electricity Supply Company (IESCO) formation has proven that their commitment is defined by deeds rather than mere promises.
In a region where winter often brings life to a standstill, these dedicated teams have personified the spirit of service, ensuring that the ‘Queen of the Hills’ remained powered and resilient through the harshest weather.”
These individuals, now being hailed as IESCO heroes, have successfully responded to the immense challenge of maintaining electricity continuity for consumers while simultaneously elevating the corporate image of the organization through their tireless service. Under the aegis of the incumbent Chief Executive Officer of IESCO, Engineer Ch. Khalid Mahmood, the local formation of the Murree offices has demonstrated a profound sense of ownership by providing a prompt and effective response during the recent bout of severe weather and heavy snowfall that blanketed the region.
According to detailed field reports, the primary objective during this period was to ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply to valued consumers and to provide immediate redressal for any electricity-related complaints that arose during the intense weather patterns affecting Murree, Jhika Gali, Nathia Gali, Guldana, Ayubia, and the surrounding hilly vicinities. Despite the bone-chilling temperatures and the logistical nightmares posed by blocked roads and frozen equipment, all officers and staff members remained fully alert and stationed at their posts to deliver essential services to the public.
This high level of readiness ensured that the heavy snow did not translate into prolonged darkness for the residents and tourists braving the winter chill. The strategic execution of these operations was closely monitored by Superintending Engineer of the Islamabad Circle, Abdul Rasheed Sarki, who worked diligently to ensure that the CEO’s directives were implemented with precision across the local formation. By maintaining a constant presence and oversight, he guaranteed that any emergency situation was handled with the necessary effectiveness and speed required in such a volatile environment. A critical component of this success was his foresight in ensuring that additional materials were readily available to the concerned offices. This included the pre-positioning of electricity cables, poles, meters, and other essential technical items, which allowed the field teams to replace damaged infrastructure on an immediate basis without the delays typically caused by supply chain disruptions during storms.
At the heart of the ground operations, Sub-Divisional Officer of Jhika Gali, Mushtaq Ahmad, led his team with exemplary courage and coordination. He remained in constant communication with his superiors and the district administration to foster a spirit of effective teamwork that reached the very grassroots level.
This collaborative approach ensured that the best possible services were rendered to the community, proving that IESCO’s commitment to its customers remains unshakable even in the face of nature’s harshest elements. Through this collective effort, the officers and staff have not only kept the power flowing but have also set a high standard for public service, reinforcing IESCO’s reputation as a resilient and consumer-centric utility provider.
