Sunday Power Downer: IESCO Announces Outages Affecting Gamers in Attock & Beyond

Alright, PakGamers, we’ve got a heads-up that might throw a wrench into your carefully planned Sunday gaming sessions. The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has announced a power suspension schedule for this Sunday, meaning several areas within their service region will experience temporary electricity outages.

This isn’t just a random flicker; it’s a planned shutdown for essential maintenance and development work. While we all understand the need for infrastructure upgrades, it definitely puts a damper on those weekend raids, competitive matches, or even just some chill single-player grinding.

Specifically, if you’re in the Attock Circle, brace yourselves. IESCO states that the electricity supply will be suspended from early morning, 5:00 a.m., and is expected to be restored by noon, 12:00 p.m. That’s a solid seven hours of potential blackout right during prime gaming time for many of us!

While the detailed schedule for every single affected location isn’t always immediately available, IESCO has indicated that various other areas across its service region will also be impacted by these routine maintenance activities throughout Sunday. So, even if you’re not in Attock, it’s a good idea to stay vigilant.

What does this mean for you? If you’ve got important online sessions planned, you might need to reschedule or make alternative arrangements. For our PC gamers, make sure your UPS is charged, and for console players, consider those power banks if you’re hoping to keep devices alive for a bit longer. It might also be the perfect excuse to dive into some offline story mode games or tackle your backlog.

Keep an eye on local updates and IESCO’s announcements if you’re concerned about your specific area. Here’s hoping you can still squeeze in some epic gameplay before or after the power break!
