Chitral (Chitral Express): A members’ meeting of Jamaat-e-Islami Chitral’s Tehsil Drosh was held under the chairmanship of District Amir Wajihuddin. Khan Muhammad Alam Khan and Sultan Muhammad Sahib took the oath as district deputy amirs, while members’ opinions were also sought for the election of zonal amirs.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a unanimous resolution was adopted against the severe and unjustified load-shedding continuing in Drosh. It stated that some time ago, public protests had also been held against prolonged and unscheduled load-shedding in the area, with representatives of all political parties and civil society taking part. As a result of the protest, WAPDA officials had assured residents that the load-shedding problem would be brought under control within two weeks. However, regrettably, despite the officials’ assurance, severe load-shedding is still continuing.
The resolution made clear that if some consumers owe outstanding payments to the WAPDA department, legal action should be taken against them individually and their electricity connections should be disconnected. But punishing the people of an entire area for the non-payment of a few individuals is blatant injustice and a violation of fundamental civil rights.
The members’ meeting demanded that this cruel practice of collectively punishing the people of Drosh be stopped immediately and that WAPDA officials honor their previous assurance and ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply to the area.
