PESHAWAR: Khalil Qaumi Jirga, an association formed for the welfare of Khalil tribe of the provincial capital, on Thursday decided to hold strong protest against 10 to 12 hours electricity outages in Tehkal, Jehangirabad, Shaheen Town and Gharibabad areas.
“The Peshawar Electric Supply Company has started massive loadshedding in these areas in the name of construction work for execution of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) project for the last four months,” said Arbab Khizer Hayat.
The jirga met under the chairmanship of Maulana Amanullah Haqqani to discuss the issue.
Former provincial minister and leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, the jirga also warned Peshawar Electric Supply Company authorities to mend their ways or else the masses would come on to the roads to lodge a strong protest against the un-announced loadshedding.
The participants of the jirga observed that despite clear instruction for Federal Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali, Pesco authorities are carrying out loadshedding, which is injustice with people of these areas.
