MEPCO Faces Wrath of People in Multan
By Ali Yar Khan • Apr 14th, 2008 • Category: Misc • One Response •With 18 hours of unannounced load-shedding and 6 hours of scheduled load-shedding, you can’t expect people to shower flowers at the WAPDA offices.
There is no justification of violence, riots and mandhandling, but these are the chitchats of civilized societies where the common man gets the basic necessities of life. Whereas in Pakistan, despite of paying hefty bill every month while getting few hours of electricity, people are just screwed up.
Businesses across the country are closing down. Students are leaving their studies, because due to unavailability of power they would flunk the exams anyway. Country is plunging in to the darkness from Karachi to Khyber and it seems that we are about to enter into dark ages.
In Multan, the Power Looms Association workers set the MEPCO office, a bank and many vehicles on fire. Then MEPCO staff captured 30 to 50 protestors and gave them a life-time beating before handing them over to police.
It’s another thing to condemn the people for these riots with flat face while sitting in front of keyboard in air conditioned rooms, and it is quite other thing when you don’t have money to buy food and medicine for your children because the factory where you work is closed due to load-shedding.
