KARACHI:
A large part of Karachi was plunged into darkness on Tuesday, as units of Bin Qasim Power Plant got tripped because of ‘technical reasons’, it was reported.
The breakdown struck neighbourhoods, particularly in the South, east and central districts, leaving homes and markets in darkness.
A spokesman for K-Electric attributed the power breakdown to a ‘technical fault’ that struck the Bin Qasim Power Plant at about 9.30pm.
Another official said that a 220KV transmission line of the power plant tripped after a conductor broke down.
“Our engineers are working and we expect the supply will soon restore. In fact some parts of the city have already got the circuit back,” the K-Electric spokesman said.
