Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar is facing growing public anger over rising electricity bills. People are demanding that the government take action to reduce the bills, rather than just expressing its inability to do so or its good intentions.
The unprecedented increase in electricity bills triggered nationwide protests, prompting the interim prime minister to hold emergency meetings to discuss the crisis. However, he was unable to provide any relief due to fiscal constraints and pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In the end, the prime minister appealed to the public to pay the bills, saying that the government had no other options. The high electricity bills are just one of the many hardships that people are facing, along with rampant inflation, rising petroleum prices, and a depreciating rupee.
