Today, Monday morning, the first day of the new week, the country faces a major power breakdown. Reports have been received from across the nation of no electricity. It is said to be triggered by a “frequency variation” in the national grid. However, large parts of the country including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta are now left without electricity.

سسٹم کی بحالی پر کام تیزی سےجاری ہے— Ministry of Energy (@MoWP15) January 23, 2023
The power outage has led Pakistani people to get ready and start the day in the dark. But their light humor has really turned the day around. As soon as people lost access to energy in their homes they turned to Twitter to show off their witty and clever humor by making memes and jokes. Be it about people complaining about dead cell phones or having breakfast in the dark, here are some really hilarious ones.
Some also sarcastically bashed the government for its lack of responsibility.

At least the public is self-aware and is also making fun of themselves for being so non-serious.
Every one tweeting about power outage

Some people are also reporting low signals and even no cell service during the power outage. They are feeling completely cut off but still are using jokes as their coping mechanism.

These are some of the funniest tweets circulating through social media. And we are sure more are to come because it will take 12 hours for the electricity to be completely restored according to electricity minister Dastagir Khan.
