Load Shedding

 

Load Shedding

Nowadays load shedding has become a common word in our country. Load shedding means the shortage of the supply of electricity for the time being. It happens when the production of power is less than the demand. Actually, the concerned authority stops the flow of electricity to some areas for some time to manage the shortage of power generation. Load shedding is almost a daily occurrence in cities, towns, suburbs and villages. It occurs mostly, at night, because the demand of electricity is more than in the daytime. Though power generation has increased significantly, there is hardly any area which is not affected by it. The bad effects of load shedding are beyond description' Shops, factories, hospitals, etc are all affected by it. Industries and mills are paralysed and production is hampered for this. Even operation stops in hospitals for load shedding. Students close their books, sit idle in darkness. They suffer a lot if it occurs in the time of their examination. In fact, it should not be allowed to continue in the present situation. The whole country is bound to collapse if the present condition is not improved. The government is to take necessary steps to check it as early as possible. Accordingly the government should set up more power stations in the country. Corruptions in this sector must be curbed with an iron hand.
