Contrary to the claims of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) officials in the suburbs of Lahore, unannounced load shedding is increasing instead of decreasing.

There are reports of load shedding exceeding 4 hours in four other cities under LESCO and 6 hours in villages, due to which the problems of the citizens are also increasing.
