KARACHI: Late Thursday, a strong thunderstorm in Karachi gave relief from the heat but also caused chaos to daily life when more than 200 power feeds failed, leaving much of the city in complete darkness.
There have been reports of heavy rains accompanied by lightning and thunder in a number of parts of the port city, including Surjani Town, Malir, North Karachi, I I Chundrigar Road, Gulshan-e-Hadeed, and Gadap. Clifton, Defence, Scheme 33, North Nazimabad, Model Colony, Safoora, Korangi, Landhi, and Saadi Town were also battered by the rain.
Residents in several areas of the megacity were left without electricity following the brief, intense downpours.
