The Karachiites on Friday once again witnessed prolonged load-shedding due to the closure of KESC's two power generating units at Bin Qasim Power Plant for annual maintenance.
Sources said that the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) was facing a shortage of 90-120 MW electricity mainly caused by the closure of its two 170 and 175 MW units at Bin Qasim which are under annul maintenance.
