LAHORE/KASUR: The periodical suspension of power supply and unan**unced load-shedding have severely disturbed people in Lahore and other cities of Punjab.
Already perturbed by the humid weather, people in different cities staged demonstrations and blocked roads on Friday. In Gujranwala, the Gepco ****** was pelted with stones. Due to low voltage and repeated suspension of power supply, electronic appliances reportedly went out of order in various cities, including Gujranwala, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad, Okara, Sahiwal, Faisalabad, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Sialkot, Narowal, Shakargarh, Renala Khurd and Pindi Bhatian. People had to face problems during Iftar and Sehr in Lahore and its various localities including Kot Khawaja Saeed, Shalamar, Mughalpura and Baghbanpura.
Lesco authorities say the power shortfall on Friday was 322MW and there was ** big power breakdown. According to reports, a prisoner in from severe heat. People also staged protests against load-shedding in Kasur, Sharqpur, Chakwal, Kotla Arab Khan, Shergarh, Baseerpur and Dipalpur. People in Baseerpur burnt tyres at the Rajbah Bridge, blocking all the four roads going to Baseerpur, Mandi Ahmedabad and Haveli Lakha. MPA Chaudhry Iftikhar Hussain led the protesters outside the ****** of the Lesco chief executive.
In Bhon Town, people blocked the Bypass and the Chakwal-Khushab Road. People at Adda Larian, Sharqpur, blocked the main road by burning tyres to protest an 18-hour daily load-shedding.
Thousands of people lied on the Lahore-Faisalabad GT Road in protest against the prolonged load-shedding in Feroz Wattooan, Nawankot and their adjoining areas. Their demonstration caused a heavy traffic jam on both sides of the road. They raised slogans against the government, Wapda and Lesco and burnt electricity bills besides beating chests. Several people fainted in Akhtarabad due to unbearable heat. Dozens of fainted people were admitted to hospitals after suffering heatstroke. Several people observing Aitekaf also fainted in mosques.
In Shergarh, people belonging to various sections of life staged a demonstration outside the City Press Club. The unan**unced load-shedding suspended the routine life in Hujra Shah Muqeem, Daska, Chicha Watni, Sialkot, Badohmali, Kundian and Mandi Faizabad.
It is because of the load-shedding that the labour class is on the verge of starvation. On the other hand, the Eidul Fitr is getting close. Tailors are suffering most in this situation. The Operation Theatre, X-ray Room, Emergency Ward and Trauma Centre in the Civil Hospital Gujranwala stopped working after a cut in power supply. Patients admitted to the Emergency Ward faced difficulties due to unavailability of power. The hospital administration had to postpone operations because of the absence of power.
Lala Musa and Khanqah Dogran faced a 20-hour load-shedding on Friday. Citizens including traders and tailors staged a rally in Khanqah Dogran after the faulty power transformer of Main Bazaar was **t replaced. They blocked the Lahore Road and chanted slogans against the SDO concerned. They threatened to besiege the Wapda ****** if **thing was done to rectify the situation.
