Earlier in December, the residents of Lyari staged a protest against the K-Electric at Karachi’s Shaheen Complex intersection for carrying out ‘unannounced and prolonged’ loadshedding.

The residents of Lyari – including women and children – took to the streets, burnt tyres and blocked main roads for vehicular traffic in protest against the K-Electric for carrying out unannounced and prolonged loadshedding.

The protesters also chanted slogans against the power supplying company for resorting to unannounced loadshedding throughout the day and even in the night-time.
