Pakistan loses power
Print Edition
Power was gradually being restored to major cities across Pakistan yesterday after the country was hit by a massive electricity blackout, officials said. The electricity distribution system in the nation of more than 210 million people is a complex and delicate web, and a problem in one section of the grid can lead to cascading breakdowns countrywide. The latest blackout was caused by 鈥渁n engineering fault鈥 in southern Pakistan at 11:41pm on Saturday, which tripped the system and caused power plants to shut down. There were no immediate reports of disruption at hospitals, which often rely on back-up generators. Netblocks, which monitors Internet outages, said web connectivity in the country 鈥渃ollapsed鈥 as a result of the blackout.
