کراچی کی آبادی 3 کروڑ سے زائد ہے۔ ان میں سے اگر دو لاکھ لوگ بھی صرف دو دن کا دھرنا شاہراہ فیصل کو مکمل جام کرکے دے دیں تو کے الیکٹرک اور اس کو پالنے والے مجبور ہوجائیں گے مطالبات ماننے کے لیے۔

Residents of Khi continued facing long hours of load shedding as the KE failed to restore electricity from the power plant. One of the units of the Bin Qasim plant is still out of order as the gas insulating system is still out of order.
