ISLAMABAD, JAN. 25: Pakistan faced a major power breakdown on Monday due to a “frequency variation” in the national grid, leaving millions of people in large parts of the country, including capital Islamabad and financial hub Karachi, without electricity.

According to the Ministry of Energy, the system of frequency of the national grid went down at 7:34 am local time, resulting in the breakdown. “System maintenance work is progressing rapidly,” it tweeted.

Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir said the restoration work was going on.

“I can assure you that power will be fully restored across the country within the next 12 hours,” he was quoted as saying by Geo News.

Explaining the failure, he said the authorities shut down the power generation system at night due to lower demand in winter to save fuel costs.
