CHITRAL: Residents of Drosh have been staging a sit-in protest at main Peshawar-Chitral road against the ongoing unscheduled loadshedding and slow work on Sheshi Power house that is under construction for the last three years.
The Sheshi Power Project (SPP) is being constructed by Sarhad Hydro Development Organization (SHYDO).
The angry protesters led by Qari Jamal Abdul Nasir comprising representatives of political parties and councillors are participating in the protest.
Talking to this scribe, Qari Jamal Nasir said our protest will continue and the number of protesters would increase day by day.
They demanded early completion of Sheshi Power House to resolve the problem of power supply to Drosh area. It may be mentioned that there was a small hydropower house of 300 KV at Drosh constructed by SHYDO, but it was closed last year due to absence of proper maintenace.
While on the other hand, electricity supply from national grid has not been regular and consumers of Drosh are badly suffering.--GH Farooqui
