PESHAWAR, Aug 26 :The Citizens\u2019 protest against the sending of heavy electricity bills continues for the second day with people of the inner city blocking the main circular road, causing problems and huge traffic jams on both sides.
\nThe protesters marched from various localities of the inner city gathered near Gunj Gate on main Circular Road, chanted slogans against PESCO and other concerned quarters for sending huge bills and demanded from the government to set up a probe committee to see the actual riding of the electricity bills.
\nThe protesters while recording their protest also set on fire their electricity bills.
\n\u201cIt is injustice on the part of the concerned authorities wherein sending bills of thousands and millions of rupees to even very poor families, which is a gross abuse,\u201d the protesters said.
\n\u201cAlong with increasing the cost of electricity, the government also added cruel taxes to the bills which have no justification,\u201d they said.
\n\u201cCitizens\u2019 patience has been exhausted, protesters should not be put to the test as we are paying the bills by selling our household goods and other valuable items.\u201d
\n\u201cPeople are being provoked and forced to commit suicide while the rulers are making the situation worse for themselves, if they don\u2019t take care, they will have to bear the consequences,\u201d the protestors said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
