I have listened from many newschannels, newspapers, articles and talk shows that there is no lack of power in pakistan. We have surplus energy to meet our demands. but all this drama is plotted to take the rental power. Being a Pakistani citizen, i also thinks like other pakistanis that govt is more interested in taking rental power than resolving the issue of loadshedding. no body is going to believe what minister says as we are now used to of their historical sayings. :). i have also read and listened that many other countaries, engineers, espcialist have tried to gave the govt many alternatives to overcome the situation but all in vain. i bpersonally think that we have lack of leadership. there is no such leader in the country who is capable enough to resolve the issue. every body is just arranging meetings, creating number of commitees and teams to know whats going on. but there is no solution to the problem two days ago, one major meeting endid in concluding that markets will be closed at 8 and two days off in week for govt sector. I once again thought that are we so developed that we should take rest two days a week. we are far far behind from the world. we are still start using computer form a computer whose life was ended in the developed countries. they throw em and we accept em. we have to work 10 days out of 7 days to compete em but we are working 5 days. another decesion by our great leaders. and if the situatino worst out we may not work thoughout the week. thats the way to lead the world.
