Islamabad January 24 2023: Electricity is fully restored in Pakistan within 24 hours of major disruption that hit country’s electricity transmission and distribution system.
The electricity supply was restored in a phased manner after a country-wide power breakdown at 07:34 a.m. Monday which was caused by an abrupt drop in the frequency system of the national grid.
The day-long power outages disrupted the routine public life across the country, with fluctuating Internet services and electricity generators fully exhausted by evening due to constant burden and functioning.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday taking strong notice of the major breakdown of electricity across the country set up a high-level committee to find out the cause.
The prime minister also sought urgent report from Federal Minister for Energy Engineer Khurram Dastagir on the matter.
He emphasized finding the pitfalls that led to the electricity breakdown and stressed fixing the responsibility.
