Anaya Khan, a house wife in Shahpur, said power outages were creating severe troubles for kids and patients. She urged the authorities concerned to look into the matter.
“Wapda has suspended the electricity supply around Adiala Jail and in Sagari Village of Rawat for last 28 to 30 hours,” said Asif Shah, Tauqeer Khan, Asim Zia and Shahbaz Asif. They said they had made several phone calls to Wapda offices to lodge complaints against unannounced load shedding but the linemen are not attending calls. “We are planning to hold big protests if Wapda fails to restore supply of electricity,” they warned.
Many other residents said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had promised for zero load shedding but he failed in proving his words.
They urged the government to end load shedding in present scorching heat or else they would stage protest demonstrations against the Wapda and government authorities.
