Residents sleep on the street side outside their houses to escape the heat during a power outage in Karachi early morning June 18, 2009. A power cut plunged most of the Pakistani city of Karachi into darkness when a fault developed on the main lines supplying electricity to the city, utility officials said on Thursday. The black-out began on Wednesday evening, and affected almost the entire city, Pakistan's biggest with more than 16 million people, and the country's commercial hub, a spokesman from the Karachi Electric Supply Co said.
