President Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) Mohammad Ishaq Butt in a press statement said that the schedule of loadshedding issued by Wapda was just a deception. He said that Sialkot was experiencing unscheduled loadshedding for hours especially at night.
Patients, children and senior citizens were badly affected by unannounced loadshedding. But Wapda authorities had become senseless to feel the pain of the people. He enquired if Sialkot City had been awarded the status of a rural area. He requested President, Prime Minister and Minister for Water and Power to take cognisance of the situation immediately and issue instructions for ending of unscheduled loadshedding to save people from the rigours of extreme weather.
