Let there be light
Nowadays load shedding is almost a daily occurrence in cities and suburbs. There is hardly any area which is not affected by it. The industrial units are paralysed by load shedding. Production is hampered due to failure of electricity. In 2008 the average generation of electricity was around 3600-3700MW whereas the demand was around 5000MW. The whole country is bound to collapse if the present condition of load shedding doesn't improve. Mismanagement, some vested quarters and limited resources are also responsible for this. Our power sector is passing through a crunch time as the demand for electricity outstrips supply, making the problem multidimensional.
The problem has to be solved.
