Load shedding is continuing to be a major issue in Pakistan. The country faces hours of load shedding and the economy is getting badly affected by it. The rural areas are facing the worst load shedding as the electricity is out for 15 hours. The city life is also affected as there is no light for 6-10 hours daily.
The industries are badly affected as the production of the goods is stopped. The companies cannot produced any goods if their machines are not running. The companies are also facing loss due to these prolonged issues and the government must do something to stop this matter.
The education sectors are also affected by the power outage. The student cannot study for their exams and some are failing their exams. The teacher says that they are making load shedding as an excuse to escape homework. The cities are facing 6-8 hours of unannounced loadshedding which is badly affection their studies.
The minister of power and electricity, Raja Pervez Ashraf had promised to eradicate the loadshedding by 2009 but the situation has been worse since 2009. The government had decided to take Saturday off to tackle the problem but nothing big took place. The holiday of Saturday is already a blow to Pakistan because if there is Saturday off then the government work becomes much slow.
The loadshedding is also a nuisance for the hospitals and patients. As there is no light, the patients suffer the most and the condition of the patients deteriorates. The operations are delayed due to the outage
The government should do something to stop the issue of load shedding. They should stop playing with people’s life and get some work done and stop making false promises that they will do this and that. People want work not words.
