We waste energy that’s the saying all around the world today but as far as Pakistan and, especially Karachi is concerned, we, the youth, can give the estimation of how the energy is wasted. Load-shedding is common here, even during Ramadan domestic supply remains interrupted and people are provoked, causing unrest and protests during fast. They cut the power for almost eight hours a day in our area. Still, there is a scarcity of power. Energy is wasted at a stretch for the politicians and their parties rallies and gatherings, bureaucracys offices and other governmental offices. The politician’s work is to provide security for the people, isn’t it? If he himself rides in a bullet proof car with men in black following him, how can we entrust our nation into his hands? Their extravagance is the main cause of energy depletion. Why cant they be humble and simple?
We need them to consider this country as their motherland and work for it and not for the self-benefit. If this “robbery” continues, then the people of Pakistan will be sleeping no more. After all this is our nation and the future is our future. The energy is our possession and if any damage is caused to the youth’s possession, then the flame inside us will have to be turned into a rapid and evasive forest fire which will definitely be unbearable. The government must take initiative to improve production, supply and distribution of electricity to the consumers.
