Pakistan: Karachi power cuts hit millions

Millions of people in Pakistan’s largest city have been without electricity, following a power outage.

Pakistan’s state-run utility said it had cut supplies to Karachi because the city’s power company had not paid its bills. Outages occurred in the morning.


Some power was later restored, and officials say it will be fully back on within a day or two.

Karachi has a population of more than 13 million, and is home to two main ports and Pakistan’s stock market.
