In this connection, Deputy Commissioner Zareeful Mani held meetings with Pesco officers, owners of marble factories and elected representatives in presence of journalists here on Thursday.

The participants of meeting said that grid station officials would have complete schedule of loadshedding along with feeders` specification and timeframe so that the consumers couldinformed timely about the situation.

The stal(eholders agreed that loadshedding schedule would be shared well in time with assistant commissioners of four tehsils and ADC Syed Kazim Hussain Shah being the focal person at district level.

The deputy commissioner claimed that the strategy would help to ensure smooth power supply to consumers. He said that scheduled loadshedding would improve voltage and tubewells would be run to meet the demand for drinking water at homes and mosques.

It is pertinent to mention here that in the recent past and last year Ramazan, the local people spent most of their time on roads to protest unscheduled and prolonged power loadshedding and low voltage.

On few occasions, the angry protesters attacked government installations and also faced wrath of district administration and police. Some of the protesters and passers-by also received serious injuries.

The hours-long road blocked by protesters also caused problems to transporters and commuters.
