KARACHI: K-Electric, the power company responsible for supplying electricity to Karachi city, said it has restored power supply to around 50% of the areas that plunged into darkness early Sunday after Guddu-Dadu transmission line tripped due to a technical fault, Express News reported.

Most parts of the port city as well as Hyderabad and Jamshoro suffered from the power breakdown because of the tripping.

The sudden and prolonged power outage left residents of Nazimabad, Defence, Shahra-e-Faisal, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Nursery, PECHS, Shah Faisal Colony, Landhi, New Karachi, Clifton, Landhi, Korangi and other areas in complete darkness.

Spokesperson of K-Electric had earlier said they were working to resolve the issue, however, it may take hours before supply is completely restored.

On December 11, large swathes of the country had suffered from a similar power breakdown after the national grid system collapsed reportedly due to low frequency ratio.
