KARACHI \u2013 A major power outage has plunged most parts of the country\u2019s financial hub Karachi into darkness on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The power breakdown left Karachi, without electricity for hours as more than 10 grid stations of K-Electric were shut down while 400 feeders tripped due to the tripping of a transmission line.<\/p>\n

K-Electric spokesperson confirmed in a social media post, saying report of an interruption in power supply has been reported from some areas of the city. He however clarified that K-Electric\u2019s system is stable and all grids are functional.<\/p>\n

It was reported that SITE Area, Shadman Town, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Johar, Gadap, Walika, Memon Goth, Baldia, North Nazimabad, and Model Colony were left without electricity for some time.<\/p>\n

As people took to social media to report the power failure, K-Electric started repair work to restore electricity.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story, and will be updated later\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
