Karachi is once again suffering from prolonged spans of unannounced power outages amid hot weather as the main power provider of the city has failed to meet the city's electricity consumption needs.
K-Electric has again begun to carry out unannounced loadshedding in the port city. Different areas of the metropolis, including Federal B. Area, are facing six hours of unannounced loadshedding.
Several areas — including those exempt from loadshedding — such as North Karachi, Liaquatabad, North Nazimabad, Nazimabad, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Korangi and Clifton are facing interruptions in power supply.
When contacted, the power utility reiterated its oft-repeated position, saying it has not enhanced the span of power outages in the city nor was any change made in the loadshedding schedule.
Earlier this week, the KE announced that the first unit of K-Electric’s Bin Qasim Power Station 3 (BQPS-III) is currently offline following a fault identified during a test. It said, however, that no additional loadshedding will be carried out.
Per a statement by the K-Electric, "Currently, the power supply to the city is as per the routine schedule announced on June 30th 2022 and available on KE website."
The Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led incumbent government had earlier pledged to surmount the issue of power shortfall. Last month, PM Shehbaz said the federal government was making all-out efforts to revive the stalled power plants to put an end to the huge energy crisis faced by the country.

General Manager of MG Motors Pakistan Syed Asif Ahmed has said the company plans to introduce three models of completely knocked down (CKD) cars in Pakistan, including the HS model, as part of its five-year plan. In a statement to Business Recorder , Ahmed said Pakistan was a “very CKD-oriented market”. CKD vehicles are assembled locally compared to completely built units (CBUs) that need to be imported. “We are working closely with the Engineering Development Board. Despite global logistical crises, especially in China after Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions, plant equipment has arrived in Pakistan. We are working day and night to get it operational in the current fiscal year,” the general manager told Business Recorder . However, he did not specify the other two CKD models the company would introduce. “We want to provide Pakistan customers with multiple options and features in our vehicles,” he added.

Federal Health Minister Qadir Patel on Wednesday announced that the government will begin vaccinating children between the ages of five and 11 against coronavirus "within a month or two" as he called for a return to Covid precautionary measures. At a media briefing of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) in Islamabad today, he said vaccines for children in the 5-11 year age bracket were only available with Pfizer.
