Power outage wreaks havoc in Khayber Pukhtunkhaw,Punjab


The people in the provinces of Punjab and Khayber Pukhtunkhaw losing patience over protracted power outage burst out on the roads and streets, while the situations in Sindh and Balochistan appear no different.

The people went on strike and blocked the roads in Shab-e-Qadar areas adjacent to the Mohmand Agecy, the strike at Khazakhela in Swat protesting prolonged power outage persisting, the rural and urban people of Chichawatni irked by the power breakdown came out on the roads and angrily protested, in Multan at Masumshah Road and other areas the citizens kept protesting against the non-supply of electricity since yesterday, however, on the assurance of the Wapda officials for soon restoring the electricity supply the demonstrators peacefully dispersed.

The situations in Sindh and Balochistan are no better. The people passing nights sleepless, while there being no electricity end in daytime the business and the industry suffering huge losses, while the daily wage earners rendered jobless.
