| [DAWN] KARACHI: A large number of localities in the metropolis faced a blackout yet again early Thursday as a technical fault developed in the national power grid, DawnNews quoted a front man for the city's major power distributor K-Electric (KE) as saying. This is the second power breakdown in the city in a span of three days. The front man said the tripping of production units in the national grid led to the breakdown, which plunged a large section of the city into darkness, DawnNews reported. The outage is affecting a large number of areas in the city, including Liaqatabad, Malir, North Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , Azizabad, Saddar, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Federal B Area and Garden. After around two hours since the filing of this report, a KE representative told Dawn.com via telephone that power in several areas of the city was restored while efforts were being made to restore electricity in the areas which still faced the blackout. An exact time for the complete restoration of power could not be quoted, the representative said. Earlier on Tuesday night, a large part of Pakistain's largest city plunged into darkness when units of Bin Qasim Power Plant got tripped because of some 'technical reasons', disrupting the lives of millions of people. |
