Pakistanis couldn’t stop cracking these blackout jokes
Over the weekend, Pakistan plunged into total darkness due to a MASSIVE near-nationwide electricity breakdown. With not an ounce of information or prior warning regarding the blackout when it suddenly happened, people came up with all sorts of explanations and conspiracy theories.
As is evident, Pakistanis were occupied by the great blackout which was the biggest topic of conversation for most of Saturday night
People came up with all sorts of speculations regarding the breakdown
Is it Dajjal? Is it government restarting the nation? What is it!?!?

Some Pakistanis even went ahead to predict the great blackout spelling the beginning of a new era of martial law
Given Pakistan’s historical affinity for martial laws and how they started i.e. with a blackout, many thought this sudden blackout may mean that a new one was coming

While the power breakdown was attributed to some issue at the Guddu power plant which apparently developed a fault at 11:41pm on Saturday night. After almost a day of restoration work power now is said to have been restored to most areas. However breakdowns were still being reported in many cities, although for much less time than the “big one”.
