OKARA: Officials of the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) continued their protest for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday by locking up the offices.

Lesco staffers across the district went on strike in protest against registration of a case against 14 officials who had locked up the city circle SDO in a room and hurled threats at him for not signing somedocuments a week ago.

The protesters held a protest meeting in the city circle office lawn at District Complex, where union leaders Mian Iltaja, Munawar Gill and Rana Shahid Hafeez said the strike would continue till the withdrawal of the cases registered in various tehsils against Tariq Javed and Allah Yar.

Visitors to Lesco offices had to face disappointment as there was no one to lend an ear to their complaints.
