‘Power-less’ citizens: HESCO attacked as protesters stage sit-in
The staff of the power utility fled from the office after seeing the charged and armed crowd walking their way.
The protesters also blocked Jhuddo-Mirpur Khas Road as they burnt old tyres during their sit-in.
Chanting slogans against Hesco officials, they demanded an end to the power cuts otherwise they would continue their protest.
The 20-hour loadshedding, they claimed, had destroyed their businesses and interrupted water supply from Tando Jan Muhammad.
