& #39;The ECC had already approved this increase in its March 26, 2020 meeting with instructions that it should come into force after three months because of Covid-19 outbreak and looming Ramazan& #39; - this July 4 report #AikRateSubKayLeya https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dawn.com/news/amp/1566903">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www...
& #39;With this Rs2.89 per unit increase, the K-Electric& #39;s tariff has come on a par with the uniform national tariff of about Rs15.21 per unit& #39;

& #39;Power tariff was increased countrywide in January this year on the recommendations of NEPRA but that of K-Electric was not raised. The federal government was paying a subsidy of Rs3-4 billion per month to K-Electric& #39; - July 16, 2020

So who halted the increase in electricity tariff for Karachi???

In a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan on July 16, 2020, it was decided not to increase tariff of K-Electric immediately but in phases.
