HYDERABAD - The Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO) has claimed that the company will not carry out the routine load-shedding during the hours preceding Sehri and Iftar timings.
The company’s spokesperson informed here on Saturday that HESCO would provide uninterrupted power supply from 1:45am to 5:45am during Sehri.
Similarly, he added, continuous power supply would be provided from 5:45pm to 10:45pm in order to facilitate the people breaking fast at Iftar and the people attending Taraweeh.
