Re: Pakistani public on streets - protests against loadshedding

@Captain1

so people finally come on streets to protest against load-shedding but as usual protests are violent, vehicles/properties are on fire :smack:, and PML-N joins the halla gulla.

Its very disturbing that so much power is shut off all of sudden, nuclear reactors are running into “technical issues”, HUBCO and KAPCO are offline. The difference in demand and production has exceeded 8,000MW, some areas running into 20 hours of load-shedding, my God!!!

Is it new definition for height of incompetence?

Should the protesters be protesting in front of power producing companies or should they be protesting in front of their local MNAs/MPAs? or a gherao of Parliament/Presidency?

It is more like political crisis than load shading. Load shading is not new to Pakistan. It has been there for many years. However NS is bent on sending Zardari home. He needs excuse, and that is the one. As regard planning work, I think WAPDA, KESC and other power producing companies are run by corrupt and incompetant people. Ministers are more or less with no brains. Most of the Pakis are stealer of bijlli. Government can not not control theft if majority of public, particularly industries steal electricity. As for NS how much he is paying for electricity he is utilizing in his factories, hospital and his palace in Raiwind?
