Well…compare to 14-18 hours of power cut in 2013, 2-3 hours are nothing…

And i bet you have not forgotten all together that during the duration Karachi use to see 3 hours power cuts…whilst industries in Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Gujrat were forced to shut due non-availibility of electricity…

Currently power cuts in rural Punjab is close to 8-12 hours…but cities are having 2-3 hours…with no load-shedding for industrial sector…

And i dont think any overseas or local Pakistani is willing to invest in rural areas…be it Punjab or Sindh…things are improving ( not improved) and shall get better…

If you want…we can have 0 load shedding for rural Sindh and Punjab ans shut down cities and indistrial zones…

I can’t fathom with the obsession of certain quarters with the bold part. Karachi got its own power supllier and if WAPDA was providing some fixed units, then there is no need to highlight that. The good performance of the K-Electric and comparable better recovery resulted in low load shedding in Karachi. For your information, even today there are areas in Karachi, which face 6-8 hours loadshedding due to less recovery and theft.

As far as 12-16 hour loadshedding in Sindh (now), or same quantumn of loadshedding in Punjab during PPP government is concerned, its due to well sold bias among communities and ruling parties. God forbid, if tomorrow, PPP comes in power (mere munh main khak), Punjab will face the same situation, as Sindh is facing now.
