Re: Load shedding
Alladin's lamp, MD PEPCO is saying now that the electricity loadshedding will reduce from 20 hours to 4 hours within 24 hours.
This government is reactive instead of proactive.

Re: Load shedding
Sometimes a beating is a good thing. These days the Pak awam is taking a beating, and the politicians are feeling their wrath. Perhaps its the kick in the rear the country needs to get its act straight.
There is a limit to everyone's tolerance at some point. Even the most stubborn of mules decides to get back to work.

for that we need to direct the demonstrations and anger towards properties of minister water and power, for example, rather than burning and destroying state properties.

Re: Load shedding
You guys don’t know anything, its the king of Pakistan and army, they want PPP to fail, they want democracy to fail, no one can do anything. Airport is being built by FWO.
Re: Load shedding
Is there any benefit in democracy? Musharraf's regime was a hundred times better than this so called democracy. Everything was affordable and there were plenty of jobs. If this country faced another decade of democracy Pakistan would be less appreciative than Afghanistan.

So that’s why they say "Democracy is the Best Revenge " :cobra:
Re: Load shedding
Wah in Pakistan the power shortage (load shedding) is directly proportional to the protests.
Dunya News: Pakistan:-Power shortfall down to 2800MW after protests…
Re: Load shedding
Prime minister is saying that 3400 MW has been added to the system, but the question is where is it going? Since the load shedding is increasing day by day.
Another gem is that they got the crisis from the previous government, but the question again would be whats the governments performance during the past four years in that regard?
Re: Load shedding
ISLAMABAD -** Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Senior Federal Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi have said that the PML-N was responsible for severe load shedding in Punjab.
**
**“Shahbaz Sharif sold the interest of Punjab for third time premiership for his brother Nawaz Sharif and their lust for power have thrown Punjab into dark ages,” the two leaders said while chairing a meeting of members of provincial and National Assembly from KP and FATA, district representatives of PML-Q and party workers.
**
Adviser to Prime Minister Syed Qasim Shah presented a resolution which reposed complete faith in the leadership of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and acknowledged that his visionary leadership brought successes to the party.
The participants seconded the resolution through a show of hand and resolved to fight every intrigue and treachery to harm the party. The participants through the resolution disassociated themselves from the elements who violated the party discipline.
The meeting was assured that the PML-Q would be reorganized in KP on democratic lines and party conventions would be held in all the cities of KP very soon.
Shujaat said he would visit FATA to address the problem of the region and bring it into mainstream politics. He said that PML-Q was a coalition partner of the government in centre and Sindh and Balochistan and the party was contemplating joining the KP government.
Parvez Elahi said the PML-Q was like a grand family where leaders and workers were respected, criticism was accepted with an open heart and valuable suggestions of the workers were incorporated in party decisions.
He was of the view that former PML-Q leader Amir Muqam fell from grace and time would tell that he took a wrong turn at a critical juncture of his political career.
Elahi said they should not lend ears to gossipmongers and keep a firm belief in the political acumen of the party leadership.
Re: Load shedding
yeah keep on blaming each other ... good going!
Re: Load shedding
^ they are saying that with reference to 18th amendment, which is not completely wrong. Punjab has willingly signed to the amendment that during shortages the provinces having the resources will use them first and then pass on to other provinces. This thing Punjab govt should have thought before helping the govt pass the amendment, at that time they were more interested in having the clause of third time prime minister removed. Now they are trying to use it as a political stunt, btw the Punjab govt can generate its own electricity too as a part of the amendment.
Re: Load shedding
**LAHORE, March 31: The Pakistan Muslim League-N took out a rally while traders observed a shutter-down strike amid allegations of forced closure of businesses here on Saturday to protest prolonged and unscheduled electricity loadshedding.
**
Although a better show as compared with the one staged by the Tehrik-i-Insaaf on Friday, the PML-N could not attract a large number of protesters.
Hamza Shahbaz, the son of Shahbaz Sharif, led the rally as the chief minister left for London on a two-day private visit early in the morning while the PML-N chief, despite being present in the provincial metropolis, also did not turn up.
An official said as per party policy Nawaz Sharif would not involve himself in the issue as Shahbaz had been tasked to grill the PPP-led federal government on energy crisis.
**The rally started from Muslim Masjid at Lohari Gate and terminated at Bhati Chowk where Hamza delivered a surprisingly brief speech spanning just a few minutes comprising PPP bashing and promises of making ‘the corrupt’ run away as well as putting an end to loadshedding within months after coming into power.
**
A heavy police contingent was deployed along both sides of the route of the rally to prevent any untoward incident as media men claimed that many of the participants were government functionaries.
Another highlight of the procession was a live lion (election symbol of the PML-N) tied to the rooftop of a jeep.
Asked if the protest would ensure provision of power supply, a participant named Mian Aslam said the event at least afforded him an opportunity to vent out his anger at the social crisis he was facing, besides the inconvenience of power shutdown and declining businesses as a result.
By social crisis he meant water supply cut off, loss of studies of his school-going children and the looming danger of dengue through mosquito bites when ceiling fans come to a halt during outages in evenings and early mornings.
Meanwhile, most of the city markets remained closed although the Qaumi Tajir Ittehad and Anjuman Tajiran, two major trader associations, had distanced themselves from the strike call.
**There were reports that some people riding wagons hoisting PML-N flags forced the traders to shut down their businesses in Gulberg and adjoining areas while some Hafiz Centre, cell phones and computers market, shopkeepers alleged that police forewarned them of “damage to their shops by miscreants” if they dared to open them.
**
Shops along The Mall were closed after clashes between two trader groups.
One of the groups led by Naeem Mir alleged that Liaquat Jutt, a parking stand contractor, used filthy language through a loudspeaker against the traders opening their businesses “inviting” his thrashing. Then supporters of both the groups in favour and against the strike scuffled until the police intervened.
In the ensuing dialogue, the traders were allowed to open their shops at their “free will” but almost all of them opted for the otherwise to avert any eventuality wondering what harm they could face when the road did not fall on the route of the rally while there was also section-144 imposed on it.
Re: Load shedding
Politicians are not in any way sincere with the public. PML(N) is the biggest fraud of the century. The so called friendly opposition has led the country on the brink of disaster but still they would not force their ministers to resign and end Zardari's regime. It is all a cycle of money transferring. If they had been in anyway serious to end crisis PML(N) would not have hesitated to break the assembly and drive out the looters from it.
Anyways all of this is fake, the rallies and the speeches. Civilians have to live a tough life and arrange everything for themselves while the politicians get served on their tables. I think a civil war is needed to kill these infestations that have plagued our lives.

Re: Load shedding
Chaudhry Shujaat today presented a formula to end load-shedding in three months. He proposed that every province should forgo 10% from NFC Award which should go for circular debt servicing. According to him, this formula will end loadshedding throughout the country, except one-hour loadshedding in rular areas.
Sounds interesting
