This photograph, published in Jang, shows a part of Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Karachi, during load-shedding. In the background you see National Stadium Karachi, all lights blazing, during a domestic cricket match.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
i think they wouldn’t have switched the lights tha early. ( cause its still day light inii?).
There is nothing wrong in this scene, I don’t know on what basis newspaper has reported loadshedding. I can see still few bulbs glowing in some houses though its evening. Even if they are using UPS they won’t be lightning bulbs outside their houses. (as you can see in below mentioned link)

It has become our habit to blow things out of proportion and discuss until we get tired or find new masala. Let’s just ignore it and move on to the real issues please.
Mubarak, i think they do take power in bulk from KESC through a sub-station but they also have back-up generators.
