Millions of Pakistanis encountered power outage on Monday morning after the power distribution system of the South Asian country broke down, said the ministry of energy.
The energy ministry said in a statement the countrywide power breakdown was triggered after the frequency of the national grid decreased suddenly.
"According to initial reports, the system frequency of the national grid system decreased at 07:34 in the morning, which resulted in a widespread breakdown in the power system," said the ministry.
The ministry added that efforts were underway on a fast track to restore the system as early as possible.
According to local reports, all major cities including the capital Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta have lost power supply completely.
