I slamabad: Protesters are protesting against the rising electricity load shedding in various areas of Pakistan including Lahore and Karachi.

In Karachi, the protesters are throwing stones at the law enforcement personnel and have also put two trucks on fire.

Protesters have gathered in Alkaram Square after their electricity was cut off by Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC).

KESC is saying that the residents have not paid their electricity bills which resulted in disconnection of their electricity.

Moreover, in the FC Area of Liaqatabad, protesters have attacked the KESC office and have caused damaged to the premises.

While in Thokar Niaz Baig Area of Lahore, protesters are also out against the increasing electricity load shedding.

People are raising slogans against the government.

Chief Minister Punjab is also expected to join the protesters in a while.

      Cheap minister should resign and then protest. His cheap tactics won’t work as the ppl r much more aware today than they were 5years ago. Nanga league is solely responsible for the misery face by the ppl today by failing to play the role of proper apposition instead of noora kushti.now they r coming out with ppl as the election is round the corner,this is nothing more than election campaign but they will have their noses bloodied by ik inshallah. To hell with loosers nanga league anp ppp mqm and deisel.
