Load shedding menace There are many problems which have besieged Pakistan from all the sides. But, among those problems, the most deadly and dangerous one is energy crisis. Pakistan has been facing this lingering issue since a long time due to lack of political will. Though, Pakistan is replete with natural and human resources yet there is no sincerity in exploration of these resources. Energy theft coupled with mismanagement and corruption has further aggrieved the situation. Pakistan’s constitution states that state shall be responsible for well being of its subject but dearth of political acumen ship always keep the whole nation in the darkness of ignorance. Load shedding is a very old and unaddressed problem. It demands short and long term solutions. Ironically, short term solutions have been tested a number of times but all the attempts happened to be failed. In long terms, renewable energy resources have been preached and promoted. Though, state has been successful to some extent in achieving its desired goals yet it needs a lot of time to fully tap the environmental friendly resources. Since, Pml-N has won the elections under the solemn commitment of restoring economy and addressing energy crisis, it has become a very challenging situation for the ruling party to meet with the people’s needs. There is not an iota of doubt over the determination and commitment PML-s chants but it must not be forgotten that a large chunk of industrialists have shifted their industrial units to outside of the country. Not only this, there has been signs of social disorder which elevates vandalism and breakdown of social harmony. Generally, these are the signs of civil war and recent Faisalabad turmoil speaks volume in this regard. Hence, it is necessary to form aggressive policy if government intends to address the load shedding menace. Waqar Abro Karachi
