How bad is it? Is it affecting all parts of Lahore or just the poorer areas?

I was in Lahore a few days ago and I can assure you, the situation is as bad as it gets. I didn't really expect for this to be happening in a major metropolitan city. Electricity cut after every single hour. So in total, you're getting 12 hours of electricity in a day.
And this is one one of the poshest areas of Lahore, Defence. All the Elites, celebrities and businessmen live here yet these are the circumstances. Well, at least the Sharif brothers aren't classicists.
Karaxhi has it better esp well off areas.I haven't heard much about the loadshedding in Lahore,but it's been horrible here in Karachi.Just today,at my place,there was no electricity for almost 4 hours.The electricity went out a bit before 11 A.M and came back at 2:45 P.M.And I kept thinking,what about those people who can't afford a generator or a UPS?How can they cope with this in this heat?

pretty ok when i went last month,
problem is, when whether is ok, electricity is fine, when it gets hot, loadshedding increases. its like they do it on purpose to kill the people.
Is it true that well off areas in Karachi have no loadshedding to begin with? I have heard they have electricity 24/7 if the area has good bill recovery
Wow,thats terrible.Hope this issue is resolved soon.
When the weather is okay people are easy on the fans and acs hence reduced load

That is the case in particular housing societies like Bahria Town. Bahria Town has an undisturbed supply of electricity in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi too. They claim they make their own electricity, however, that is all garbage. They have a HUGE back up generator system and connections in the Govt.
In nazimabad and johar areas it's going every day from 12 am to 6 am (basically sehri) and then during daythere is fighting going on in Karachi and furious people have attacked electricity offices; load shedding must be very bad in karachi

Lol bahria town in Karachi is like 5% occupied right now so it's not in discussion

in defence lahore it is pretty much load shedding every hour, just like you say it. in the poorer and remote areas it is even worse. the thing is that the people in power have their own generators and ups system, so they do not feel the brunt on load shedding at all, and as a result they do not understand what the common man goes through.
The weather is absolutely lethal in Pakistan.
117*F in Larkana daamnnn!!
That's nothing. Islamabad is only a few degrees lower. Check Sibi! It is 50 degree Celsius (and above!) almost dayily.
Sibi is not even on the website. It says "no location found." Still, it's really hot in Pakistan.

The situation is terrible. It is the worst phase of load-shedding in years.
PTI is truly the most incompetent government in Pakistan history. They have destroyed each and every department and institution.
Yes the first year we have experienced Load Shedding.
Load shedding vanished from Pakistan in 2016 after PMLN’s efforts. Credit where its due. 5 years later its back!
Load shedding can not just vanish all of a sudden. Nawazs backside was not a mega electricity generating device. The lack of electricity is due to years of neglect and poor planning. Khan has ordered the start of two dams which will complete around 2025 for cheaper electricity. Some people are just full of cr*p, electricity projects take years to complete. The shortage now is not due to current government but the previous govt due to poor planning.

Pmln are the best hands down in running pakistan
It's a shame the military keep overthrowing them and destabilising the situation when they are in government.
Until the pakistani people realise that the real enemy is pakistan army and stand with nawaz sharif to take bullets on the chest like the turkish people stood with Erdoğan when military tried a coup
Then there is no hope.
Khan may be a sincere person but he is a puppet and his whole cabinet is full of incompetent clowns.
Biggest problem is this military leadership /isi , biggest looters swindlers in pakistan haven't won one war against India and basically brainwashed whole society that India is gonna attack us and we are going to be invaded by hindu armies like their mouthpiece zaid hamid if that was the case why hasn't India invaded Bangladesh.

It must have vanished from Lahore because forget Karachi or Peshawar, even multan and Bahawalpur had load shedding in both 2016 and 2017 summer.
Tell me you’ve never been to Karachi without telling me you’ve never been to Karachi...![]()
Sorry but you are wrong. I lived in Karachi in 2017 and 2018 as i was working there, no loadshedding.
Pakistan should have built more Nuclear power stations, they don’t need to keep building weapons as they have more than enough to defend themselves.
Poor planning, military involvement in politics and corruption is the result of the power shortages seen now.
Numbers dont lie, no one can deny the capacity upliftment by PMLN because as soon as PTI came in govt, they complained about it citing “capacity charges”z
My paternal family live in Landhi, I’ve been going to Karachi regularly since 2014, and I can tell you the exact timings of when the power goes. No electricity for most of the day, and at times no gas, and no clean water and on top of that it’s freakin hot.
The fact is, No government has managed to make Pakistan a better place, I have seen zero improvements in Karachi since 2007.
Load-shedding isn’t a Pakistan specific problem. Here in England we are advised to shut down unused appliances during sporting finals involving England cos everyone love a cuppa!

I guess your family will be voting for “bhutto” again? And by the way, this is a transmission issue like i mentioned earlier. Btw in Sindh, esp on interior side, people dont even pay bills..
For 30 years we were so used to looters, thieves and corrupts , we miss them now. How come the current government has not been able to fix everything in long three years. ?
People who had connections with the corrupts of PML and PPP really miss them a lot and want them back, to hell with general public and future of the country.

Electricity shortfall in Pakistan has reached 6500 along with power outages of upto eight hours in the country, despite an announcement from the government to bring down loadshedding to three and a half hours, ARY NEWS reported.
According to sources in the power division, the demand for electricity peaked at 28,000 MW against the available supply of 22,000 MW, bringing the shortfall to 6500 MW.
They said that some of the urban centres and rural areas are experiencing loadshedding between six to eight hours, contrary to the government’s claim of reducing the duration.
Moreover, the electricity quota of LESCO has been raised to 5000 MW against an existing demand of 5,700 MW, resulting in a shortfall of 700 MW. The LESCO has issued a loadshedding duration of a three-and-a-half-hour.
Meanwhile, the sources shared that an improvement in supply of gas, and furnace oil have been witnessed to the power plants and the duration of loadshedding will be reduced in the coming days.
It is pertinent to mention here that former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has announced that the power loadshedding would be reduced to 3.5 hours from Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad flanked by federal ministers, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the country’s electricity demand has exceeded 25,000MW.
He pointed out that when the current government assumed charge, the electricity generation capacity was at 17,000MW which was increased to more than 21,000MW.
Previously, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had directed the power authorities to limit loadshedding across the country to two hours, warning that he wanted results not explanations over the matter.
PDM must be really confident about being able to successfully rig the future elections with Establishment help that they don't give a **** about the anger at the streets over load shedding, inflation and incompetence, mismanagement and ghoonda gardi.
Instead of beating up senior citizens in hotels, pmln and ppp can return the looted money of Pakistan to erase the crisis as that is the scale of their looting, plus that money was never theirs to begin with.
The situation is terrible. It is the worst phase of load-shedding in years.

How’d you like them apples now?
He will never reply or if he does it will be full of nonsense..ignore him..
The truth is anyone with half a brain can see that this g0v is useless..unfortunately many have half brains..
