“Power is now back in most cities but officials warn that it could still be a few hours before electricity is fully restored,” the report said on Sunday. Power was restored to parts of the capital early Sunday. The country has had chronic problems with its transmission system, and major power breakdowns have been frequent. In January 2019, problems at the Guddu Thermal Power Plant led to a major power failure across areas of Sindh and Baluchistan provinces. About 80% of the country lost power in 2015 when Baluch separatists attacked a transmission line.
