The residents of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Attock will face a planned power outage on Kashmir Day, scheduled for February 5, 2026. The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has released a maintenance schedule for construction-related work on several 11kV feeders.
According to the official shutdown schedules issued by IESCO, there will be no outages linked to annual maintenance on the day. All listed shutdowns are tied to construction and system improvement work.

In Islamabad, several sectors and commercial areas will experience outages between 10:00am and 1:00pm. Affected localities include Ghauri Town (Phase VIP and Phases 1 to 3), Garden Town, Bilal Town, Razzaq Valley, Shakeryal, and parts of G-6, including Aabpara and Melody Markets.
