Pakistan Power Cut
Pakistan facing power cut troubles even during Ramadan
Islamabad: Pakistan is currently observing Ramadan but there is no respite from loadshedding troubles even now.
The power outages have further increased up to 10-12 hours, making the lives of the public miserable even at the time of iftar and sehri, reports Geo News.
A power division official told the news channel: "The less production of hydropower in the wake of no improvement in water flows into the system and no rain spell coupled with an increase in demand of electricity, because of a surge in mercury, which has increased to 19,000MW at peak hours, have also aggravated the electricity availability crisis. However, the demand during the daytime stands at 16,000 MW."
All urban centres, such as Karachi, Hyderabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Sialkot have been severely hit with 4-10 hours of load-shedding and rural areas with 10-12 hours.
In Karachi, 3-4 hours of load-shedding is underway because of a reduction in electricity supply from the national grid by 300 MW.
