Blackout in Pakistan

[Edevelop]

Why do Pakistanis blame PMLN for this? Pakistan set itself on a destructive path from the time it made India it's arch-rival.

This is Pakistan my friend. What the people do is criticize all day and believe in something they want to believe in. You have probably notice this here on PDF. PTI supporters stubborn on one side, and PML-N supporters stubborn on the other. They will never want to accept each other's achievements.

As for me, i keep a balanced a approach. PTI has a great leader with a vision down the road, but they don't have good people in the party. PML-N on the other hand has poor leadership, but they have technocrats who initiate projects.

Going back to Blackout, i don't think this had anything to do with PML-N. Shahbaz Sharif has brought numerous investments in Punjab. It is due to his credibility that there is a lot of interest from foreign investors The real problem is the federal government. They do not provide sovereign guarantee to those investors. At times, Shahbaz wrote letters to back then P.M Gilani. When that didn't work, he requested Zardari. The point is, they are all ignorant and want personal share first.

Best time for India to attack Pakistan. I am sure all the politicians and defence planners would be awake right now and planning some conspiracy.

Abey andhere mein kaun attack karega? Left ki jagah double left chaley gaye to aap Maharastra pe dhaava bol denge.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan was hit by a nationwide blackout for more than two hours after the breakdown of a major plant caused power stations to stop working across the country, officials said Monday.


While power cuts are common in Pakistan due to chronic underinvestment in infrastructure, outages across the whole country rare.

Late Sunday's blackout occurred when the HUBCO plant in southwestern Baluchistan province, which generates 1,200 megawatts a day of electricity, developed a technical fault, said official Rai Sikandar.

That breakdown prompted a "cascading effect" which caused plants nationwide to shut down, said the water and power ministry official.

"It was a technical fault in one of our power plants and not in the national grid," he insisted, adding that electricity was gradually being restored across Pakistan after it remained off for more than two hours.

Another ministry official said power should be back on across the country within two hours.

He said that all 24 power stations in the capital Islamabad were working again and electricity was being restored in parts of all the country's four provinces.

"1,200 megawatts of electricity is back in the national grid with the restoration of different power stations," said the official.

He added an inquiry would look into the the causes of the technical fault at HUBCO. "It would be pre-mature at this stage to speculate about the nature of the fault that caused the plant to fail."

LOL, to a monkey 2+2= 4 is WOW as well

And don't worry, real honest hardworking Pakistanis will take Pakistan back from the thugs and murderers in a few months Inshallah.
Once they do they will run Pakistan like a country and not a trust fund and in 5 years time they will have eliminated load shedding.
I suggest you move to Afghanistan then since you love corruption and load shedding so much.

no woner Canada export ppl like TuQ and JB

Accident like these can happen anywhere in the world, more so in countries like ours, just a while back india also saw a mjor blackout where 1/3 of their population was left without electricity. Stop blaming everything to ruling party you don't like, you make it sound like Zardari himself swithced-off the power. If your parents didn't teach you anything atlest show some maturity that you should have gotten from this very forum.

after shia killings, this is new mile stone achieved by PPP

Power Grids fail sometimes. Just as this one did. Not such a big deal finally.

Night of national darkness

Major cities across Pakistan, including were hit by a power outage Sunday night.

The blackout affected cities and towns in all four provinces including Hyderabad in Sindh, Quetta in Balochistan and Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in addition to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi.

Darkness prevailed at about 11.30pm. There was no official word on the development. However, reports suggested the outage was caused by a problem in the National Power Grid.

According to Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda), the fault struck after the failure of Hubco Power Plant.

“After Hubco broke down, the system was first diverted to Tarbela and then to Mangla, but both of them tripped under the load one after the other,” said a Wapda spokesman.

He added that Hubco power plant was under repair on emergency basis.

He however said that it could take the teams of engineers hours to fix the fault in the national grid. The blackout was so severe that it created panic across the country.

In Karachi, 36 grid stations tripped. At least 70 per cent of the city plunged into darkness.

Power was abruptly suspended to Quetta and surrounding areas. Apart from Quetta, power supply was out in northern and central districts of Balochistan. People faced enormous difficulties after the abrupt power breakdown.

Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf took notice of the power breakdown. The PM House said that the prime minister is monitoring the situation.

Lahore Airport was also without power, but continued operations by running generators.

Officials from the NPCC said they had traced the cause of the technical fault, but could not give a timeframe on how long it would take to fix.
