Meanwhile, citizens complained against load-shedding near Gol Market, Nazimabad, chanting slogans against K-Electric.

The protesters said that the power provider had cut off the area’s electricity for the last two days.

KE, in reply, stated power was being cut off for seven-and-a-half to 10 hours in high loss areas.

The duration of load-shedding has not augmented in the rest of the city, KE said.

The power service said that there was a power outage in some areas of North Nazimabad as restoration works were underway.

The extreme temperature in Karachi hit 35°C today, while indoor humidity reached 62%, according to the weather forecast.
