KARAK, Sept 14: Enraged villagers encircled Takht-i-Nusrati police station on Thursday evening to protest against power suspension in Zarki Nusrati village for last three days. The protesters led by JUI-F local leader Qari Abdur Razaq and Maulana Sabir Hayat marched from Zarki Nusrati village to Takht-i-Nusrati sub-division offices of Peshawar Electric Supply Company, but the offices were locked. They then marched to the local police station and staged a sit-in there. They said that power suspension had created acute shortage of drinking water in their locality, but the Pesco officials were not taking action on their complaints.
