During the ongoing month of holy Ramadan, power has been playing hide-and-seek at the Sehri and iftar time.
“We appealed the officials of PDD to improve the power supply, but to no avail,” said a local, addding, “Despite payment of the power tariff in time, the power department continues to test our patience,” he said.
The residents have threatened to come on roads if PDD fails to provide them uninterrupted electricity.
