Many people in Karachi are in the dark without electricity after 60 hours. They most possibly dont have water anymore while or contact to the outside. Not even talking about work or study deadlines 1/5 #KarachiRain

I’ve seen three street protests with people throwing stones and blocking roads today. Two on boat basin road and another near lilly bridge 2/5

With hundreds of people still sitting in the dark, K-Electric by no means should be sending these, bad strategy. 3/5

I will commend the fact that roads in Clifton were mostly dry the next day after the torrential rains 4/5 #KarachiRain

Clifton has been dry for more than 1.5 days now but still many areas without electricity. I’m listing Karachi areas that still don’t have power, keep adding!
-Clifton near BarBQ Tonight, Block 5, Block 2, Block 7
-DHA Phase 6, Phase 5 plus extension, Phase 8
5/5 #KarachiRain

Just as a disclaimer, my electricity was restored early today but a lot of people I know are still sitting in the dark like its stone age

Update: Most areas in Karachi that are left will have electricity back in 6-8 hours. Only those will be left that still have water flooding issues

My thoughts with @Sainbasha @fksquared @VeqarIslam and everyone else who has been without electricity for over 80 hours. Some areas are completely dry! Quite unfair @KElectricPk
