Light returns to Pakistan slowly after blackout
Power was gradually being restored to major cities across Pakistan on Sunday after it was hit by a massive electricity blackout, officials said.
The electricity distribution system in the nation of more than 210 million people is a complex and delicate web, and a problem in one section of the grid can lead to cascading breakdowns countrywide.
The latest blackout was caused by "an engineering fault" in southern Pakistan at 11.41pm local time on Saturday, which tripped the system and caused power plants to shut down, Power Minister Omar Ayub Khan told a Press conference in Islamabad.
