Dadu loadshedding

Published February 18, 2019

THE people of Dadu city and surrounding villages have been suffering from the ill-effects of power loadshedding for a long time. At night, power outages affect students, besides commercial activity.

What is painful is that there is no loadshedding schedule, and the local distribution company resorts to power cuts which sometimes last 14 to 16 hours. I appeal to the federal and provincial governments to look in to this and end our misery.
