They said 3-4 hours unannounced loadshedding on daily basis was continuing for the last couple of weeks.

A Hesco’s spokesman at the local grid station said that main supply from Dadu was suspended.

Talking to newsmen, representatives of the protesters said that hundreds of teachers had not received their salaries due to negligence of bank staff.
