PESHAWAR: The city’s main electricity supplier, Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (PESCO), registered on Saturday a case against PTI MPA Fazal Elahi for barging into a grid station.

On Friday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers barged into Rehman Baba grid station. The workers, under the leadership of PTI MPA Fazal Elahi, entered the station and opened the closed feeders on their own, which led to restoration of electricity more than 100 nearby places.

Speaking over the matter, Elahi remarked that PESCO had assured the protesters earlier that the electricity crisis will be resolved soon, but lamented that people are still facing 20-hours-long load shedding.
