According to K-Electric, the city’s sole power supplier, more than 150 of 1400 electricity feeders in Karachi tripped as soon as the rainfall began.
After rain, traffic was also jammed in many parts of the city, making it difficult for commuters, especially people returning from offices, to reach their destinations.
Cars were stranded in massive traffic jams on multiple arteries of Karachi following heavy downpour in the city on Tuesday.
Poor drainage meant roads were quickly inundated with rainwater, causing many vehicles to shut down.
