In yet another incident of harassment, power supply was cut at the residence of an Indian diplomat in Islamabad for nearly four hours last Tuesday, following which the Indian High Commission took up the issue with Pakistan Foreign Ministry, official sources said.
The note also referred to a separate communication sent to the Pakistan Foreign Ministry on 21 December regarding snapping of power supply at the diplomat's residence.
The Indian High Commission requested Pakistan to ensure that such incidents do not recur in future.
There was no power supply at the diplomat’s residence at Street No 18, Sector F-7/2 in Islamabad between 7 am and 10:45 am on 25 December, according to the Note Verbale, which is a diplomatic correspondence.
The latest incident comes in the midst of Pakistan not granting gas connections to the new residential building of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad despite repeated requests by India.
They said furniture for new buildings are held up at the border and no telecom connections have been granted by Pakistan.
