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.
Long-term outages in gas and electricity have dashed consumer hopes for the government’s promise of a “smooth” supply for the fasting month of Ramadan, according to news reports.
Local Sajid Islam said the Peshawar High Court had said that residents of the gas producing area should leave the facility undisturbed. However, Sajid Islam stressed that Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) violated the court order, Dawn reported.
Residents in both urban and rural areas complained about the suspension of gas supply from 10pm to 10am, Dawn reported. Another resident named Hamid said people were having problems preparing meals during Eid and Eid. Another resident said that since Ramzan started, consumers have been struggling as they faced prolonged load shedding. (Arnie)
