Yaar the loadshedding is quite simple to understand, we have growth that has outgrown our current infrastructure. Mushy/Shauky gave economic growth but we still need more to meet our demands. Doesn’t mean they did anything wrong. They have still outpaced other governments in their growth targets if I am correct and to their credit even when this government has met with challenge after challenge that no other government met before. I do not disagree with the article saying that easy credit has led to a boom in consumer electronics and that is the primary reason for such a demand in electricity that has outpaced out current infrastructure’s capacity despite the fact that it has grown.

What I don’t understand though is why the Atta crisis? Anyone care to elaborate.

Yaar, with regards to the first part of your post, in addition to the unprecedented economic growth under the great leadership of President Musharaf, many people in Pakistan are Elctricity chors (Kunda baaz) and don’t pay for their electricity. Hence, govt is deprived of revenue. Yet, these Kunda Baaz are the first ones to complain when load shedding happens. Either pay up or keep quiet.

With regards to your second part of your post. The Ata crisis is due to shortage in whoe of South Asia. However, people need a bogey man so they compalin about and pin the blame on. BBC NEWS | South Asia | South Asia hit by food shortages
