Lawmaker or lawbreaker? PTI MPA once again leads attack on Pesco grid station

A group of people, led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmaker Fazal Elahi, stormed a grid station in Peshawar, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Monday.

MPA Fazal Elahi forcibly switched on four feeders of his constituency, disrupting the power supply to other areas.

Reportedly, the PTI lawmaker with a group of people forced his way into the grid station in May, prompting Pesco to seek an FIR against him.

According to a spokesperson for Pesco, the PTI MPA and a group of protesters surrounded the Rehman Baba Grid Station.

He added that the protesters, accompanied by Fazal Elahi, forcibly entered the station and switched on nine feeders, which were considered high-loss because of extensive power pilferage.

The PTI MPA warned that they would shut down the Sheikh Muhammadi Grid Station if the matter was resolved where they were protesting.
