Reviewing the situation created in the city owing to unscheduled and long-power breakdowns, he said the residential as well as commercial centers are affected and the students have trouble in preparing for their examination and appearing in their exams without having electricity.

The Mayor said the protests against persistent load-shedding are proof of this fact that the people are in immense turmoil and felt themselves helpless.

He said persistent power breakdowns have also caused failure of costly electric items and the people facing losses which is very unfortunate.

He said the government and organizations concerned must take notice of this situation and do something to provide relief to the citizens who are suffering from the load-shedding and the overbilling rates in electricity bills.

K-Electric must solve the current power crisis without any delay and stop the cutting of power supply for longer duration, he added.
