HANGU: The residents here on Saturday expressed anger over the non-restoration of power supply to several adjacent tribal areas over the last six days. The resident of Mitha Khan and other surrounding localities of Orakzai Agency said that power supply to their areas was disconnected after a power pylon collapsed in the area. They said that the Tribal Electric Supply Company could not repair the affected pylon to restore the power supply to the affected areas. They said the power suspension brought the routine life to a virtually halt and led to scarcity of drinking water in the area.
