  "account": "The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has announced temporary loadshedding in five cities and surrounding areas due to a shortage in power generation. The affected cities are Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum, and Chakwal. Rawalpindi's measures cover both the City and Cantonment operation circles. IESCO's public notice reveals that electricity demand has outpaced supply, prompting the utility to initiate equal-duration power cuts across all its operation circles.\n\nIESCO management explained that most outages will last from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, while some feeders will be without electricity from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The company aims to end load management once electricity supplies can meet consumer demand. IESCO management has apologized to customers for the temporary disruptions.",
