Power tariff hike is curse on the middle-class, since in most cases 30-40% of the earning goes to electric companies; peoples are dying due to summer intensity and lack of amenities like water and drainage. Alas there is no one to care. All parties are just fighting for power-game, not for the basic and life threatening issue of general public, Allah Kareem..
