Reehan Ahmed Qureshi | 14 years ago | Reply Load shedding timings in different cities in Pakistan. Islamabad/Rawalpindi load shedding timings are changed now after one hour load shedding start. Load shedding duration has gone up to 6 hours to 12 hours in a day. Why load shedding period is too long in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, here not huge industrial units working.
