SWABI: A large number of people held a protest demonstration against unscheduled and prolonged power outages in Swabi on Friday.
According to details, perturbed over long hours of unannounced load-shedding, hundreds of citizens belonging to different areas of Swabi staged a protest by blocking Swabi-Mardan Road.
The traffic remained suspended for hours due to the protest and long queues of vehicles formed on both sides of the road; due to which the commuters had to suffer.
After dialogue with the administration and assurances that their demands will be fulfilled, the protestors dispersed peacefully.
