A massive power breakdown yesterday morning till afternoon due to technical problems in the National Grid Line interrupted electricity supply and badly hampered industrial production in the port city.
Commercial activities however remained largely unaffected. According to traders, the peak shopping time usually starts after the sunset in Eid season. For religious reasons markets close early on the night of 27th Ramazan.
Industrialists working three shifts said they were already stressed because of frequent power outages, especially at night during the month of Ramazan.
