Major power breakdown halts operations at Dhabeji

KARACHI: A significant power breakdown occurred at the Dhabeji Pumping Station, leading to a complete halt in all pumping activities, ARY News reported on Monday.

According to the spokesperson, the breakdown, which was caused by a failure in the K-Electric power supply, happened at 8:10 PM.

This disruption could potentially affect the water supply to various parts of the city, as Dhabeji Pumping Station is a crucial facility for water distribution in Karachi.
