RECORDER REPORT

PESHAWAR: Enraged by traumatizing electricity loadshedding, PTI workers barged into a grid station on Friday, and turned on electricity supply to all feeders.

The workers, under the leadership of PTI MPA Fazal Elahi, entered the station and opened the closed feeders on their own, which led to restoration of electricity in 23 areas. The workers also chanted slogans of “Go Nawaz Go” inside the grid station.

Elahi is a Member of the Provincial Assembly from Peshawar.

Speaking over the matter, Elahi remarked that the Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (PESCO) had assured the protesters earlier that the electricity crisis will be resolved soon, but lamented that people are still facing 20 hours-long loadshedding.

“If the government do not provide us electricity, then we will get it ourselves,” he stressed.

On the other side, PESCO officials asserted that power loadshedding happen in areas where electricity theft is a routine.
