Tujjar Union Shutter down in Chitral....II
Respected Editor:
I salute Tijar Unior Chitral and other forces united and protesting
against the electricity crisis ongoing in Chitral for the last 2
years. They are doing a great job and I fully support the protest.
We have been living in darkness for the last 2
years and our elected representatives have been helpless in this
matter. They have done nothing to improve the situation except
false claims and false promises. As the people of Chitral are
suffering and their elected representatives are content either in
Islamabad or Peshawar, I urge the people of Chitral to include the
call for resignation of these good for nothing so called
representatives in their protest as well. These representatives
have lost their moral credibility and yet again have proved that
they are not capable of resolving the issues of the poor and
peaceful people of Chitral.
I request those Chitrari brothers and sisters
who love their motherland but could not participate in this protest
because they are not in Chitral like me, to use this page to show
their no confidence in these representatives and send e-mails
urging these representatives to resign from their seats. I know
that the cow leather engulfing the souls of these Lota Politicians
will not let them resign but regardless of the results we can show
them that now we know that you don’t deserve the seat for which you
were elected.

Tujjar Union Shutter down in Chitral....I
Sir,
Through the courtesy of your esteemed paper, I
would like to invite the attention of higher authorities towards
the shutter down in Chitral town for the last 4 days to press
public demand to provide electricity to the 8000 consumers of PESCO
in the town. This is higher deplorable that during the last 4 days
higher authorities and public representatives have paid no
attention to the shutter down. Traders Union and Driver Union have
joined hand to continue more drastic demonstration of anger and
protest another 5 days.
It is pertinent to note that the problem of
power break down is 10 years old problem. It was during the
District Govt of Maghfirat Shah that the problem aggravated to the
highest level and the Nazim did nothing for the town for 70,000
population. In July 2008, the incumbent MNA Shahzada Mohiuddin had
promised in a crowd at Chew bridge to solve the problem of power
break down in Chitral within 2 month, but he did not solve the
problem after the lapse of 2 years. Provincial Minister Salim Khan
did nothing despite his promises and posters. This is wrong to say
that the problem was created by snowfall. As a matter of fact, the
problem was there even before the snow fall. This problem is not
linked with national grid. Chitral town has its own hydel power
house and 4 diesel power generators. The power break down is not
because of power shortage, it is just because of mismanagement.
Therefore 70,000 population of the town is supporting the shutter
down. The only way to call of the shutter down is rehabilitation of
old machinery in the power house and providing diesel for running
the generators. Had there been a will, this problem would have been
solved 2 years back.
Bashir Hussain Azad,
