Electricity still not restored in several areas of Karachi following a major breakdown on Tuesday evening.
The affected areas included Gulistan-e-Johar, Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Gulshan-i-Jamal, Clifton, Shireen Jinnah Colony, Federal B Area, Baldia Town, Dalmia, Karsaz, old city areas, Saddar, Keamari, Lyari, and others.
“The breakdown has been caused due to faults in two units in the Bin Qasim power plants,” said a spokesman for K-Electric Usama Qureshi.
Qureshi, however, dispelled the impression that citizens were facing a blackout across the city.
He confirmed that about half the grid stations of the metropolis had been affected by the breakdown.
