Karachi-specific notes

Bill-shock diagnostics for Karachi
The commonest reasons a Karachi household sees a sudden bill spike are (1) slab jump — crossing 200 units in a 6-month protected-consumer window; (2) FPA surge — a quarter of high LNG imports pushes fuel-price adjustments up sharply; (3) AC load creep — one extra hour of daily use over the month adds 6–10% to the bill; (4) meter fault or theft on a shared connection.
