Load Shedding

 

Load-shedding means the discontinuation of the regular supply of electricity. Now-a-days it has become a regular affair in our cities and towns. It is one of the most serious problems of our country. There is hardly area of the country which is not affected by it. Load-shedding mainly occurs due to the less generation of power than the demand. Sometimes it occurs for the mismanagement of the corrupted authority and illegal consumers. Misuse of electricity is another notable cause of it. Often government is not sincere to produce required amount of electricity in proportion to the public demand. The consequence of load-shedding is very much painful. When it occurs in an area, whole area plunges into darkness. Students and examinees suffer a lot for it. They sit idle closing their books. Dying patients suffer terribly as their operations are hampered by the Load-shedding. Houses, Mills, Factories, Industries and shops are to stop. Thus it hinders our production and weakens our economy. In fact, electricity is the driving force of a country. If there is lack of electricity, there is lack of production. To speak in short, Load-shedding has a far-reaching effect in the socio-economic development of our country which is undoubtedly negative. If we want to get rid of this curse, we must have to take immediate steps. Government should generate sufficient power by building new powerhouses and repairing the olds. Only the government will not be able to solve this problem. We must have to stop the misuse of the electricity. It is possible only by an all out effort of both the government and the common people.
