Load shedding; how worst can it be?

Thanks to the mismanagement, ill planning and low priority accorded to this collective problem, load shedding is a continuous phenomenon in Pakistan but most people are reminded of this menace when the going gets ‘hot’ though industries and work force keep suffering even during colder seasons.



Last year I wrote we in Pakistan are having load shedding; worst ever. You have to live here to understand that. Of course I was wrong. Worst is now.

No amounts of words or phrasing cam make you understand what are the feelings of a lady who is a patient and whose physical condition worsen in hotter weather. Or when you see a student studying in candle light when temperature is touching 45 degrees or a factory owner thinking of closing the unit and moving his industries to Bangladesh. Stakes for load shedding are very high and deep.

UPs, most people invested in, don’t work because the batteries need time to recharge. People think of buying generators but cant due to ever increasing prices of diesel, petrol and even gas.

It is this scenario that most people are living; cursing those who are responsible for this fiasco including selfish, clue less and careless rulers.


I also wrote “let us get used to this situation.” Now I say we can’t because the situation is degenerating fast and getting used to also need some time.
