In yet another first in the history of the highly conservative Khyber tribal district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, womenfolk took to the streets to protest against the unscheduled power loadshedding on Thursday.
They gathered outside the Jamrud Grid Station led by woman councilor Wagma Afridi and blocked the Pak-Afghan highway for all kind of vehicular traffic.
