Electricity crises in pakistan

The latest crisis that has Pakistani’s from all walks of life up in arms is the lack of electrical power throughout the country. While rolling blackouts or load shedding as its locally known has always been a staple of daily life in Pakistan, the problem has become acute in the last couple of years.  The power cuts during this time has amounted to 20-22 hours a day in most small cities and even cities like Karachi were seeing 18+ hours of load shedding.it seems that the present crisis is a result of bad management and the lack of foresight.Instead of issuing stamps and coins bearing Benazir’s logo and dedicating existing airports to her name, the Government should focus on the problems of everyday people and try to make their lives a little bit better. Everyone understands that Pakistan is facing serious problems requiring long term solutions and the present government can’t be expected to make significant headway in the short term, yet there are things where it can make a difference. Eliminating load shedding during the winter months could just be one of them.
