Peshawar: Hundreds of people took to streets today from Peshawar’s Hazar Khwani and adjoining areas, to protest against prolonged power outages.
The protesters blocked the Ring road for traffic, due to which vehicles in route to Khyber Agency and Afghanistan, were lined-up in long queues. The people chanted slogans against Wapda and were holding placards, on which various demands were written. Police reached the scene to negotiate with the protesters after which they dispersed peacefully, on getting assurance that their problem will be resolved soon. However, the protesters warned the police that they will stage demonstration again if the government didn’t fulfilled their demands.
