QUETTA: Professor Hafiz Obaidullah, provincial leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl), Saturday said that un-announced and unscheduled power load shedding in different areas of Quetta city, particularly in Pushtoonabad and its adjacent areas, made the life of the people miserable.
Talking to PPI, he said that power outages in the Pushtoon Dara, Akhtar Muhammad Jamia Masjid area, Moulana Niaz Muhammad Durrani Educational and Sports Complex area, Mula Salam Road, Qaiser Colony and other areas of Pushtoonabad caused severe pure drinking water shortages in the mentioned areas.
He added that businesses run by electricity had come to a complete standstill owing to continuing unannounced power outages in Pushtoonabad, a dense populated area of Quetta city, and its adjoining areas. Demanding the authorities of QESCO to end unannounced power outages in Pushtoonabad and other areas of Quetta city, he said that people would be forced to protest against unannounced power load shedding if it was not ended.
