KARACHI: People have protested against the ongoing load-shedding in various areas of the city despite the lockdown.
There is no electricity in the area of Gulzar-e-Hijri Scheme 33 from the past 24 hours due to which the condition of the people has worsened as they are forced to stay in their homes due to the lockdown.
It should be noted that the Sindh government while earlier imposing the lockdown across the province announced that there should be no load-shedding.
More than a day has passed and still the electricity has not been restored in the area. Moreover, K-Electric workers have also refused to work. Residents of the area protested outside the K-Electric’s regional office against the continuous disconnection of electricity.
Along with the Hijri area, areas of New Karachi, Surjani Town, Landhi, Korangi, Liaqatabad, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, and Shah Faisal Colony are also facing unannounced load-shedding. The people complained that the K-Electric replaced the copper wires by saying that it causes frequent power outages and on the other hand, we are still facing a load-shedding in our area.
