People continue to protest against inflated electricity bills across the country.
In Nawabshah, shopkeepers shut down their businesses and came out on streets to register their protest against inflation in general, and electricity bills in particular.
All large shopping centers of the city such as Masjid Road, Sakrand Road, Liaquat Market, Mobile Market, and Kaprra Market remained closed.
In Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) too, people took to streets to vent their anger against the government over hike in the power tariff.
They blocked Swabi to Jahangira road and torched bills to register their protest.
The speakers, on the occasion, said that they had to even pay millions of rupees in their bills, which was gross injustice with them.
Telling the government that their patience was running thin, they asked it not to put them to any further test.
They demanded the government to reduce the electricity rates so that they could heave a sigh of relief.
Residents of Peela Gojran in Shakargarh, a village close to Indian border, torched their bills and blocked roads by setting tyres on fire.
