Islamabad: The acute energy crisis in Pakistan has worsened a prolonged power outage in the country, when small business owners struggle to continue to work in the face of soaring temperatures, reporting local media.

Accompanied by a sharp increase in heat waves, part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa watched a load warehouse for up to 15 hours per day. The Karachi, Sindh, and Balochistan areas are also not avoided. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) stated that the situation tended to improve after all commercial activities after Eiul-Fitr decreased, reported local media.

Officials of the Islamic Electricity Supply Company (Iesco) stressed that they sharply observed power load management at different duration. They have claimed that the power plant will begin immediately after they can overcome the current crisis.
