Massive power outage hits Karachi
News are coming from Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, PECHS, F.B Area, Defence and Clifton area that they are out of electricity.
It is expected that the KESC staff resolve this breakdown and we will cherish and live happily every after with electricity after midnight, this is not confirmed news but it’s like a thin beam on light in the darkness that makes us believe there’s a new day coming.
11:29 PM : MB just reported live from water pump area that still there is no electricity from M.A Jinnah road to water pump.
11:42 PM : Geo – The cause of outage is due to technical fault in Wapda’s transimmision line.
11:57 PM : MD pepco : Hubco power plant is supplying power again.
12:04 AM : Message from a friend “Happy Break Down Electricity in Karachi”
12:09 AM : MD pepco : All power stations will start working in 45 minutes.
12:27 AM : Signing out from the lavish office (Generator powered) to be among my masses to feel the pain and anguish of the missing electricity case.
3:57 AM : Gulshan-e-Iqbal – Electricity has been restored.

No Light
Shuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not believe you guys at all. All you do is create panic through your words. I believe the honorable MD PEPCO, I believe the honorable Minister for power failure, I believe the honorable PM and above all I believe the Honorable President of The Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I believe him because he once said "Pakistan Khappey", I believe him because his wife was murdered, I believe him because the majority is always right and the majority has chosen him to be our President.
I advise you all to have patience and from the bottom of your hearts say " Democracy " 100 times and believe me the electricity will be back.
Have a good night.
@Ittiqa 420 times democracy bol diya abhi bhi light nahi aae.
ittiqa, you need an irtiaq. Your logic is very deadly. You are implying that if military was ruling the country, we won’t have these problems.
My understanding is that until people are willing to pay for the electricity, we will have this problem. Most people in Karachi either don’t pay for electricity or don’t want to pay. Unless people pay their bills and pay their taxes, Karachi will remain hell.
We are all bhikaaris. Don’t want to pay taxes, but scream about broken roads.
I meant, ittiqa, you need irtiqa (evolution) :-)
soach badlo!
@ balma
Well, sir, this bhikari pays all his taxes yet he has probelms, why do I pay taxes yet all my taxes goes to fat punjabi beurocray, inefficient incapable army, balochi tribals, sindhi vaderas and bhikari pathan IDPs, and we have to pay additional taxes to keep our gutters from choking….now that sucks.
WOW ,, just when i heard a good news: http://www.geo.tv/6-17-2009/44328.htm
What wow? I went to this URL and saw this ad if I wanted to be friends with sexy Arab girls.
I got scared and thought cleaning my cookies will help, but nope, they were still there.
Strange!
No electricity 10 hours past.
Power is back on here in Gulistan-e-Johar around 3:30am
Ms Arabi of KESC had just said that two units of Bin Qasim plant are back online(but now channels are saying that they’ve tripped once again)
Angry protesters have burnt down KESC office in Shah Faisal colony. Tyres are being burnt by protesters around Azizabad,Shara-e-Pakistan,Golimar,Gulistan-e-Johar etc.
I am not sure what kind of friggin’ rocket science is involved in power distribution that these dorks couldn’t get it right. I think this will prove to be final nail in the coffin of new KESC’s management,house leader senator Raza Rabani have already suggested that it should be renationalized .
We’ll have to put up with this problem as long as KESC is there. They haven’t done shit to make sure the "financial capital" of Pakistan doesnt have to face such problems at least or else the industries/factories will go down. Guess what? The’ve already started to close down and now our beloved President Zardari knocks on everyone’s door and asks for $$$$$!!!!
We should burn down KESC jab saala in ka honay ka koi faida hi nahin. in kay hotay huway jugnoo’on, laltain aur mom batti say kaam chalana parh raha hai.

It was restored for an hour only to vanish again at 5:00am again!
Defence Phase 6 – 8 AM – Still without electricity!!
According to Geo, the "Two restored Bin Qasim plants tripped again" after being restored for about an hour. Unconfirmed news is that it would take some 24 hours more to get this power situation sorted out.
Gulistan-e-johar has light since 9 am…my generators looks beaten, even after inter changing evry 4 hrs…all my fuel stock is exhausted….taking day off from office due tu this rat-jaga…
Today this caveman will go serch for fuel, and tomorow for water tanker…sali kiya zindagi hu keh reh gai hai….I rememebr good old days jub mom bati jala ke so jaya kertay thay.
I second the opinion of burning KESC, I can share my fuel stockpile for this kar-e-khair….agitators contact
My dear Bhikari Balma,
I do not know about you but I pay my taxes, My father pays his taxes and my other two brothers also pay all their taxes. We do not have a "Kunda" at home and on an average our electricity bill is about 20K.
I am against Dictatorship, whether it is in the form of "army dictatorship" or "Civil dictatorship". My earlier post was just an eye opener for the idiots of Pakistan who either cast their vote out of pity or out of other emotions. I guarantee that 80% of those who voted for X party would not even know about their Manifesto, then why did they vote for that party, that is an unsolved mystery and will remain one.
We as a nation, have self limiting beliefs. We love to blame others for everything, its either America, Taliban’s, RAW or the past Government and the great part is that every time the people believe these ridiculous things. I am sure that once electricity resumes we will again see those evil faces with eyes as of vultures and with their beaks half open ready to penetrate the flesh of truth, they will lie openly and bluntly on record and we wont be able to do anything, again.
My friend, I might sound negative to you but from where I stand, its the truth. As a first step of solving a problem is to identify the problem, don’t you think it is about time ??
Happy Tax Paying.
By the way, I live in PECHS block II and their is no electricity from 5pm yesterday, we were not even amongst those lucky B******** who had electricity for 2 minutes or 5 minutes during the breakdown.
I love karachi and thinking about disowning it !
O come on guys..i know its really painful to live our lives withourt electricity but this does not mean that we give up hopes and disown our city…learn not to give up at any cost..our determination can not only motivate us but also make us strong as ever!!!!!!
@balma (a.k.a fasee)
This is all due to roashan khayal bastards e,.g. musharraf , shuakat aziz, etc etc, who have done all such crap and have made our life miserable.
Wats the latest update guys . Defence phase 6 as the power resume on abt 12:00 pm or so.
4:00 PM : Garden West – Electricity has been restored.
(light aweee light awee!)
Anyone knows what is the situation of power supply in the Clifton area at this time….? say hi to Juvs….
@dafiina condition is good in clifton block 8 so far
@Salman
Asaan jee bhi achi wee
Electricity restored @ Jamshed Road @ 2:30PM

KESC aur hum mein itna pyaar hai FAARAAZZ…
AGAr kESc rutth jaye Tou hamein sari raat neend nai ati
Irtiqa abbasi,
I was not implying that you don’t pay taxes. I was just saying that most people in Pakistan and Karachi don’t want to pay taxes and want everything for free.
Your thoughts are very similar to mine. Thanks for clarifcation.
Now, the IUnknown or whoever will think that you are actually me writing another pseuoname….hehehe
And, abay oyae IUnknown…stop insulting me. I am not fussee.
He writes horrible English, his Urdu is pretty nasty…for example, he writes wrong Urdu like: aap kya kar rahae ho…total bastardization of Urdu….But, you are too clueless. You think I write as fussee!
Also, you are a confirmed jamati. You see Musharaf in everything.
BTW, did you read that autobiography of Iqbal’s son?
itneay din say kahan ghaaeb thay jaani?
Tere janay k baad teri yaad ai
we miss u musharaf

we miss u n we love u musharaf sahab
"Unn hon ney kaha"…..sounds so romantic doesn’t it..?"
the shut down was bigger than we had during the nuclear tests….and it was definitely bigger than we have during the missile test…..but so far they have not claimed or suggested any kind of tests…so it means that the tests failed.sorry!
Hum bewafa hergiz na thay
per hum wafa kar na sakey
@ wasiq
" Aah the nuclear tests n missles"
All that come to my mind is this song
" Inhi logon nay, inhi looogoooon nay
Cheena dupattaa mera"
What else they stole she is not ready to share, asyet
hey hey, nothing feels right when im not with you.
sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos……:-p
