CHITRAL: Longest load shedding of continue 12 hours from 6 am to 6 PM is exercising at Singor, Shahmirandeh and Balach area despite that local hydro power house also existing at Singor area. Line staffs of Peshawar electricity supply company (PESCO) remove links of different transformers to disconnect power supply to consumers of these areas and restore power supply to Shahi Bazar and other influential persons. Although power supply from national grid station also continue to Shahi Bazar but Pesco staff deprived consumers of Singor and adjacent areas by disconnecting their power supply to oblige traders. Some 600 KV electricity is spare from (SHYDO) hydro power station of Sheshikoh 1.8 Megawatt but Pesco not take it to supply it to consumers of Chitral because of agitating and protesting against Pesco by Drosh people. An official of Pesco Chitral told this scribe that we cannot use this spare electricity of Drosh power house because residents of the area protesting against us. As local micro hydro power station been established at Singor area and consumers of the area were badly affected during construction of this power house because of disconnecting their irrigation water for power house but even than these royalty holders are not benefiting by Pesco.
There are so many boys and girls schools & Colleges both government and private as well as government offices, Airport, Civil Aviation Colony and offices of Non Government organizations but they all badly suffering from continue load shedding of 12 hours every day. Students also facing great problems and can not study to preparation for their examination due to no electricity in the area. Residents of Singor, Shahmirandeh and Balach have appeal to Secretary and chairman Wapda as well as chief executive of Pesco Peshawar for taking action against Pesco Chitral staff because they plunge the people in dark for more than 12 hours only to save themselves from duty. It is worth to mention here that some 28 staff working at Pesco Chitral office and they can easily manage load shedding after 2 hours at every area but by this way they have to perform duty and they not do so as a result residents of the area facing longest load shedding.
