Due to the severe energy crisis across Pakistan, the worst power load shedding has also made the lives of citizens unbearable in the federal capital Islamabad, where the load shedding period has exceeded 12 hours. Due to long and unannounced shutdowns, business activities are being severely affected while normal life has been paralyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the details, power supply is being suspended repeatedly during the day and night in different areas of the city, causing huge financial losses to traders, shopkeepers and the industrial sector. Small businesses are being particularly affected, where work has completely stopped due to lack of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citizens say that the prolonged power outage during the intense heat and humidity season has increased the difficulties manifold. Children, elderly and women are suffering severely, while domestic problems are increasing due to the impact of water supply. Citizens have complained that despite repeated complaints, no significant steps are being taken by the relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be noted that the government had claimed to limit load shedding to two hours, but the ground realities appear to be the opposite. Citizens say that government announcements have been limited to speeches, while in practice the situation is worsening day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to experts, the widening gap between electricity demand and supply, poor system planning and faults in the transmission system are the main reasons for this crisis. Citizens and business organizations have demanded that the government take immediate notice and take emergency measures to end load shedding, otherwise they have threatened to launch a protest movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
