The city faced unscheduled load shedding on Thursday, with the duration of outages stretching to 10 hours in some areas. The power supply was cut-off early morning and citizens faced various problems while preparing to leave for schools and offices.
Thursday has been one of the worst days of the year in terms of power outages. The electrical power supply in the city was cut-off for two hours after every two hours.
The power suspension started Wednesday night, when many areas remained without power during the night for consecutive three-hour spells. The electricity supply was then cut-off at 7am and remained suspended till 10am. Many areas, including Township, Johar Town, Cantonment, Wapda Town, Faisal Town, Garden Town and Iqbal Town suffered from early morning closures. “I got late from office because of closure of electricity,” said a banker Sadeed Ather adding the LESCO should provide electricity at least in the morning hours so that people could get to offices and schools on time.
