Karachi residents faced severe difficulties during Sehri, since the power cuts not announced interrupted the daily routines, especially during the Ramadan food of Sehri-Previewn.
On the night of March 10, 2025, multiple areas in Karachi, including Shah Faisal Colony Block 2, Green Town, Orangi Town and others, suffered energy cuts around 2 in the morning, said Express News.
The residents reported that despite several complaints to the interested authorities, the reasons behind the energy cuts were not communicated.
In addition to hindering the preparation for Sehri, the power cuts also affected the water supply in several areas. With local pumping stations that lack electricity, the distribution of water stopped, more uncomfortable to residents.
The situation led to concerns as the usual daily problems of power interruptions intensified during the sacred month of Ramadan.
Residents in the affected areas expressed frustration, noting that such interruptions were frequent, without a clear explanation of the relevant authorities.
“Every day there is a problem with electricity, and it is becoming unbearable, especially during Sehri’s hours when we need energy,” said a local resident.
With Ramadan underway, citizens have urged the authorities to find an immediate solution to recurrent energy cuts, which have exacerbated the difficulties of observing fasting during the holy month.
Energy cuts have intensified the concerns of Karachi residents, especially given the crucial importance of the holy month and additional challenges of fasting. People ask for urgent intervention to restore services and guarantee the operation without problems of daily activities during Ramadan.
