Power crisis
As per the directive of the government we have moved the hands of our clocks one hour ahead. The rationale behind the initiative is that people will use less power as they will finish their activities within the confines of daytime. Well, one may or may not support this line of thinking.
So far we have not seen any conspicuous change in the power situation. According to most of the observers, load shedding has rather taken a turn for the worse following the introduction of the new system of timing. The school going children are facing a tough time as they have to start their daily routine an hour earlier.
We cannot but admit that we have to increase power generation .The authority may encourage the consumers to try other modes of energy. Solar power could be a possible alternative.
