Locals in Pakistan's Mardan region said they would protest against Peshawar Electric Supply Company from Friday if they do not stop unannounced loadshedding.

The jirga members, including Irshad Ahmad, Bagh-i-Iram union council chairman Qari Junaid, former tehsil council members Mumtaz Bahadar, Mohammad Arif, Dr Wajid and Mohammad Rahim, said that the residents of Bagh-i-Iram had been experiencing prolonged and unannounced loadshedding for the last several days, reported Dawn News.

They told the news channel that they had made several complaints to the authorities about the cruel loadshedding but to no avail.

They said elected representatives as well as relevant high-ups had failed to resolve their problem.
