Islamabad [Pakistan]Chinanews.com, April 11 (Xinhua) According to Qudrat Daily, a Pakistani vernacular media, Balochistan, Pakistan, including the capital Quetta, has been carrying out undeclared load shedding since the beginning of Ramadan, which has greatly disrupted people’s lives. Due to the reduced load in Balochistan, people’s business has been severely affected.

According to news reports, people in Balochistan were unable to work due to the 18-hour power outage. Tailors are unable to sew clothes due to ongoing power outages in Balochistan, and Ramzan is the most important month for them to make money.

Tailors have stopped taking sewing orders. They even traveled to Quetta from elsewhere to earn more money, according to Qudrat Daily, a Pakistani vernacular media outlet. Tailors, however, have expressed concern over how Eid will be celebrated.

In early March, residents of the Kohat district of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province also faced prolonged gas and power outages since Ramzan began, Dawn reported. People complained about prolonged outages in Kohat for gas and electricity.
