Electricity has been suspended in several areas of Sindh and Balochistan after a fire flared up in Guddu Thermal Power House (GTPH) late Sunday night. Sources said that the fire suddenly erupted in unit 6 of GTPH because of heavy rainfall and overloading. The fire subsequently tripped 13 other units of the power plant, halting the power supply to many areas of Sindh and Balochistan. The fire brigade was called immediately after the fire broke out around midnight. In Sindh, the affected areas include Kishmore, Kandhkot, Tangwani, Shikarpur and Jacobabad. In Balochistan they include Jafferabad, Naseerabad and Jhal Magsi.
