Electricity loadshedding is back in Pakistan

Just after beginning of Ramadan month the electricity load shedding was reduced to very low about just two hours of the day and in some days before end of Ramadan it was actually eliminated 100%. This was the time when people thought that for this year we have got rid of electricity load shedding. As the season of winter was ahead and most likely in this season the electricity consumption is significantly reduced.

But just one day before the end of Ramadan this news floated that Pakistan is again facing the shortage of electricity and then soon after that load shedding was re-continued but was limited to 4 hours a day. But now as time passing we are heading towards winter times when electricity is not consumed on air conditioning stuff so instead of electricity load shedding being reduced it is increasing day by day.

This means that the current administration is failed to prioritize the important tasks to be performed to take Pakistan back to the road to development.

Load shedding is now not desperately effecting the economy of Pakistan as industries are closed for hours due to this and this is being difficult to keep up with the costs and make healthy profits. It must be the first priority of current administration to take real on ground steps to take Pakistan and its destroyed, defeated economy back to the road to development.
