DADU, April 1: Activists of 32 social organisations and Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz staged a demonstration on Tuesday against what they alleged ‘artificial load-shedding’ in the city.

They said that Hesco officials were carrying out eight to nine hours load-shedding on daily basis. They accused the Hesco officials of issuing detection and inflated bills to the poor consumers to cover line losses and complained that the SE and executive engineer of Hesco were not ready to meet delegations of consumers.—Correspondent
