National electric power regulatory authority (NEPRA) Tuesday took serious notice of another major breakdown in Karachi and directed K-Electric authority to provide immediately a detailed report in this regard.
According to a press release issued here, the city of Karachi witnessed breakdown in the early hours of Monday due to closure of Bin Qasim Power Plant, resulting into the tripping of high tension KE's isolations line from the national grid.
It caused inconvenience and people of the city suffered from long duration power outages.
Further, it was reported that 80 per cent of city was affected including Gulistan-e-Jaohar, Gulshan Iqbal, Nazimabad, Bahadurabad, Liaquatabad, Mahmudabad, Saddar and other areas. It has also been highlighted that it was the 5th breakdown within a time period of two months.
