LAHORE: Several areas of Lahore from electricity breakdown since eight in the morning, on Monday, as thirteen grid stations mysteriously ceased distribution of electricity.

Thirteen major areas of Lahore including Gulberg, Cavalry, Cantonment, Defence, Township and Johar town have been affected - with both residential and commercial sectors suffering.

PEPCO and LESCO officials continue to blame each other for the fault.

PEPCO has said the grid stations have been shut down for repairs while LESCO officials claim the grid stations are not being provided with power.

However, both parties are unable to give an actual timeline for the restoration of electricity.

Anis Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply Nothing technical dude. It's all about politics; do as much as possible to keep the people away from easily available news source i.e. TV. When you highlight the kind of news about Mr.President, what else do you expect from machinery. LESCO or PEPCO, u wil never find what exactly happened, so believe what I say. it's every kind of petty politics being played in this country, God forbid.
