MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th January, 2021) Power supply has been restored in most parts of Pakistan on Sunday after the national power grid's breakdown plunged major cities into a blackout last night, Radio Pakistan reported, citing Energy Minister Omar Ayub Khan.
According to the radio, the near-complete power outage in major cities happened due to a sudden drop of frequency in the national grid from 50 to zero.
Speaking at a briefing, the minister blamed the breakdown on the outdated transmission system, which he says had seen no upgrade for years.
He noted that a comprehensive plan was being pursued to revamp the system.
