Karachi residents took to the streets today as prolonged 18-hour power cuts sparked unrest across the city. Protesters blocked M9, Main Orangi Town, and Abul Hasan Ispahani Road in areas including Orangi Town and Sohrab Goth, with demonstrations continuing for over four hours.
Angry citizens are protesting against K-Electric, citing a lack of response from both the Karachi administration and the utility provider. Locals say summer load shedding has been a routine issue for the past 15 years, with little action taken to address it.
The blockades have disrupted traffic and movement in key areas, while residents demand immediate relief from the extended outages.
