Heavy rainfall in the city disrupted the LESCO power distribution system, causing electricity outages across multiple areas.
Officials reported that the recent rain triggered tripping on several feeders, while technical faults and burned transformers in some localities halted electricity supply, leaving consumers facing prolonged disruptions.
LESCO staff and engineers immediately began restoration work, but the ongoing rain is making it difficult for line crews to carry out repairs efficiently.
Authorities have urged residents to exercise caution while restoration efforts continue.
