KARACHI: Several areas of Karachi faced power outages on Saturday as K-Electric’s extra high-tension lines tripped in Sindh’s Jamshoro district. As many as 18 grid stations and 621 feeders were shut down due to the tripping in the extra high-tension wires. The power breakdown was reported in North Karachi, Surjani, Shadman, Buffer Zone, North Nazimabad, Nazimabad, Liaquatabad, FB Area and Orangi Town areas of the metropolis. However, K-Electric, the utility company responsible for electricity supply in the metropolis, said that limited power supply was affected in Karachi due to a disruption in connection from NTDC. The spokesman said that K-Electric has restored the affected grid and the management of the power utility was in contact with NTDC. DNA
