The Kasur citizens who are facing unscheduled power load shedding have demanded the government take cell phones back from WAPDA SDOs and XENs as they do not listen to public complaints. Nadeem, a shopkeeper, said that 16-hour power outages had paralysed the city life, besides badly affecting the business community. He also expressed his anger over unresponsive behaviour of the SDO and the XEN.
Sardar Sikandar, a student, said he had to prepare for exams, but he was facing serious troubles due to load shedding. He added that whenever he phoned to get his complaint registered, his call was not attended. He demanded a strict action against WAPDA officials for not listening to the complaints of people.
EXPLANATION SOUGHT FROM EDO: The Human Rights Cell of the Supreme Court of Pakistan has sought explanation from the Kasur schools secretary and the education district officer (EDO) for not appointing proper teaching staff in a school at village Toddaypur. Malik Qurban Ali, a resident of the village, had sought the court’s intervention in completing teaching staff in the school where only one teacher is teaching some 300 students. It was stated in the plea that five teachers who were educating the students were transferred to other schools after their promotions to next grades.
Qurban said he and other people of the village tried their best to make the authorities concerned realise the gravity of the situation, but in vain. On the other hand, the EDO forwarded his remarks to the SC, saying that a teacher was posted at the school through the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD), adding the remaining staff would be completed in the next recruitment.
