Hesco authorities have urged consumers to get their power connections legalised and clear their outstanding dues failing which their power supply will be disconnected and FIRs lodged against them.

JSSF DEMO Activists of Jeay Sindh Students Federation staged a demonstration outside the press club here on Tuesday in protest against an alleged attack on the Sindhi speaking students in Karachi University by the activists of Islami Jamiat-I-Tuleba.
