Earlier, the rising temperature and prolonged power outages in different areas of Karachi made the lives of the city’s residents miserable, Pak News Info reported on Friday.
It has been more than 12 hours since Karachi’s Garden West residents are witnessing a power outage as the electric supply has been suspended since 9 am.
A resident claimed that the electricity provider for the metropolis cut off power to the area because several households in the neighborhood failed to pay their monthly power tariff bills.
In a similar incident, the residents of Karachi’s Manghopir area staged a sit-in protest against electricity load-shedding.
The protestors have set up a camp at the electric grid station, with many residents joining the protest.
Despite several rounds of negotiations between protesters and the police, no resolution has been reached.
