Load-shedding

 Load-shedding means suspension of electricity on certain lines when the demand is greater than the generation. Load-shedding happens when the supply of electricity is insufficient. The people living in the areas supplied with electricity are quite familiar with the term load-shedding. There is hardly any area which is not affected by load-shedding. It plunges the city or part of it into darkness and it seemed that we are living in a village. It is almost a daily affair in our country. During the summer load shedding caused unbearable torture on the people. It causes a problem of far reaching consequences in the socio-economic development of a country. Houses, mills, factories, industries, shops all fall a victim to it. The running mills and factories come all stand still. Actually life comes to a stand still. If it is continued for several ours, the production hampers seriously. Due to load-shedding food kept in refrigerators get rotten. Besides, the commodities kept in the cold storage are also got spoiled. The patients and the students are the most sufferers. Operations are stopped. And the students sit idle in the dark closing their books. They suffer terribly owing to load-shedding on the night before their examinations. In fact, load-shedding causes great sufferings to the people and causes an irreparable loss to the country. The only good it does is that it gives us chance to see the stars and the shining moon. But it is great problem. It shouldn’t be allowed to continue. We want to get rid of this problem. As such, we want our government should think over the matter and take necessary steps to check it as early as possible.
