Talking to this scribe, people belonging to different walks of life protested against the absence of electricity and natural gas for domestic use.
They have said that there is no one to address the issue of power cuts and listen to the voice of the public.
It is pertinent to mention here that since the Pakistan Tehreek -e-Insaf (PTI) government has been ousted from power, the provincial government in KP has disassociated from matters related to WAPDA and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL).
Moreover, the post of PESCO spokesperson has been lying vacant for the last three months and the company has yet to nominate any other official to communicate with media outlets and inform the public about the real situation about long hours of loadsheding.
