Blackout in Pakistan

Why do Pakistanis blame PMLN for this? Pakistan set itself on a destructive path from the time it made India it's arch-rival.

Power is back on. Please turn off your t rolling switch. #stupid

Does it really seem to be a conspiracy theory?


US army has started preparations to land US forces in Karachi. This is NO joke!!! As Pakistan starts to collapse, the US army is aggressively building a Command and Control Center (TCOC) at Karachi airport to act as the forward base to seize and control the airport for US troops landings.

Of course, the cover story is that the entire might of the US army is being deployed for anti-narcotics operations, as if we are all idiots here. US Marine Corp has also been practicing landing of Marine amphibians divisions on Makran coast just a few years back - again under the drama of anti-drug operations.

Once the anarchy gets out of control in Karachi, a local political party would facilitate US military landing, just as NATO did in Libya. The last phase of the 5thGW being deployed aggressively. For years, we had been warning the nation but those destined for punishment seldom do tauba.

"Merey aziz Hamwatano" .................... not really


According to my twitter, Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore are facing a Blackout. There is a TWITTER rumour that there is some problem in Mangla. Dont know much but enjoy the Blackout :(

Hahahhahahah great

On Topic :: Sorry what is going on in Pakistan as channels are not working at my home. Please Copy Pasto news.
 
There is long power cuts even after power is restored. Power restored at 8 Am. Again went out at 11 am and came back at 5 PM.
 
All the Grids are not Active even now , and some are tripping , & are causing cascade effect on other thus power is going out for a very long time , it will take at least 24hrs more to fix every thing . so dont be surprised if power goes for long time like 5-6 hours.
 
The entire powergrid is interlinked. Today 70% of the country was in a power blackout. Makran division of Balochistan was saved because its electricity comes from Iran.
 
Why Pakistan Don't focus on thermal power plants. A thread was running of abundant coal field found in somewhere ?
 
Does it really seem to be a conspiracy theory?
