A story of U-turns May 24, 2021 KARACHI: About two months ago in March 2021, the federal minister for power celebrated the completion of a power transmission line in record time, which would become the conduit for an additional 450 megawatts of electricity from the national grid to Karachi. Just a few days ago, Federal Ministers Asad Umar and Ali Zaidi were lauding the role the government had played in supplying this additional power to Karachi from the national grid. Umar called it as the beginning of a plan to increase power supply to Karachi by up to 2,000MW in three years. Zaidi appreciated that Karachi was able to spend this Ramazan with no load-shedding during Sehr and Iftar.
