JUL 8 - More than a third of Karachi plunged into darkness after a KESC high transmission line tripped, shutting down 12 grid stations of the city, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.
According to the channel, around "40 percent" of the city was in darkness.
The areas of Malir, Bin Qasim, Civil Aviation Airport, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Korangi South and East, Landhi, Garden, Saddar and Jacob Lines were worst hit as these areas faced power breakdown from 5pm until past midnight.
Meanwhile, a high-tension line fell on houses in the Korangi area, causing the grid stations of Korangi south and east to stop functioning.
A KESC vehicle was sent in to repair the wire, but protesters drove them away before they could fix the problem.
