Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Asif Bughio said that the residents dispersed for a while after the police action but resumed the protest shortly after.
“Electricity in several areas of Lyari, particularly the one adjacent to Mauripur road, has been suspended since 4 pm yesterday, he added.
“Due to prolonged disruption in the power supply, hundreds of residents blocked the road for hours,” he said, adding that the police tried to negotiate with them but they attacked the law enforcers with stones.
In the Gadap Town area, the load-shedding time has gone up to 18 hours in a day, while Shah Faisal Colony, Malir, Surjani Town, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, areas around Jahangir Road, Sultanabad, and Kala Pul, among some other areas, are reported being facing power outages of 14 hours or more.
Separate protests against water shortages were also reported from other parts of the city early on Tuesday morning as well.
According to traffic police, the residents of Liaquatabad’s Dak Khana, Shah Faisal Colony 2, and Kala Pul took to the streets.
