05:48 Jan 12 2012 Pakistan

Description
After a nine-month respite, electricity loadshedding in Swat has again exceeded 20 hours a day every day, paralysing routine life in the valley.

Locals from all walks of life have held numerous protests against the prolonged power outages but the issue remains as is. People who are dependent on electricity for a living have been affected the most.

Talking to The Express Tribune, United Labour Union Swat President Marajun Nabi termed loadshedding as the “financial murder of industrial workers”.
