Swabi [Pakistan] August 4 (ANI): People of Pakistan's Swabi district on Monday staged a protest against the prolonged electricity load shedding in the region.
The people of numerous villages reached Shewa Adda on motorcycles and tractor-trolleys and blocked the road for all kinds of traffic at the main intersection for three hours, The Dawn reported.
Protestors slammed Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) and elected representatives for the fragile electricity supply.
"Power supply remained suspended for hours even if there was little rain. They complained the Pesco did not attend calls by consumers to know about the reasons for frequent power outages," the speaker said during the protest.
