People in Pakistan are struggling to afford the extremely high cost of electricity as the government continues to increase power tariffs on a monthly basis. In Jaranwala, Punjab, a differently-abled man has resorted to putting his body organs up for sale just to keep his electricity on.
In a video that went viral on social media on Wednesday, a villager named Yaseen said, “I have been living a life of disability for five years in Jaranwala. How can I pay this bill?” He appealed to the government, saying, “Take my eyes and pay my electricity bill.”
Yaseen urged the government to fulfill its promise of providing free electricity to needy and impoverished families. As he waits for a savior, the video of the disabled young man has garnered widespread attention on social media.
