In different areas of Peshawar, unannounced load shedding for long hours has been going on. In the important trade centre of the city, Sikandra Pura, load shedding for 4 hours at a time has affected domestic shoppers as well as the business class people.

In Jahangirabad on University Road, power supply is suspended since 8:00 am whereas in suburban and rural areas of the city load shedding continues for 12 hours.
