Gilgit (Special Representative) – Despite a surge in heat, the city of Gilgit continues to experience unannounced load‑shedding, while electricity is still being supplied according to the winter schedule. Over the past four months, different schedules were issued at various times, but none were fully implemented; most areas received power for less than an hour, causing extreme distress for residents. Citizens report a sharp rise in electricity demand due to higher temperatures, yet the Power Department has not released a new, effective schedule. Without fans, staying at home has become difficult, and a proliferation of mosquitoes has worsened the situation. In affected zones, cases of seasonal illnesses among children have increased, raising parental concerns. The unpredictable power supply has severely disrupted household life and paralyzed business activities. Public forums have sharply criticized the Power Department’s performance, noting that such severe load‑shedding was rarely seen before, and now the department appears completely unable to provide basic services. Meanwhile, people are gathering on streets to protest the prolonged, unannounced load‑shedding, accusing the Power Department of offering only one hour of electricity despite the onset of summer—a situation deemed unacceptable. Protesters warned that if the government cannot deliver essential services like electricity, there is no justification for staying in power, demanding resignations. They cautioned that without immediate improvement, the scope of protests will expand. Residents have urged authorities to issue a clear, actionable schedule immediately and enforce it strictly to alleviate the hardships faced by the public.
