He alleged that the Hesco officials were forcing people to pay a certain amount for ‘reduced’ bills. Abas alleged that influential people were involved in power theft in Khairpur, Nathan Shah, Sehwan and city in connivance with the officials of the Hesco and in order to cover up their losses, officials were resorting to loadshedding.
The protesters warned of sustained protests if loadshedding was not stopped. They appealed to the newly elected parliamentarians to take notice of the problem and solve the issue on priority basis. Later, they observed a token hunger strike outside the Dadu Press Club.
