Pakistan experienced a wide-scale power outage early Monday, bringing life to a rather screeching halt on the opening day of the week. This was the second massive breakdown in less than four months. The previous one occurred in October.

The development raises questions on the role of Pakistan's power sector, at a time when the government is seemingly supposed to be in overdrive to bring the nation's economy out of a crisis-situation.

As expected, (rightfully) frustrated netizens went straight to Twitter to declare their outrage and bring forth a meme or two, lamenting about the newest addition to Pakistan's mountain of problems.
