Pakistan is being affected with so many issues which are driving us back to the Stone Age. One such big and alarming issue is the recent load-shedding problem. Because of the absence of electricity other problems like water shortage, reduction in the industrial production, public welfare works like construction, emergencies in hospitals, media linkage, the whole cycle of life comes to a standstill. The whole nation (talking of the middle and lower class) is losing their patience. Students cannot concentrate on their studies, especially during examination, old and young too find it difficult to survive the scorching heat of summers.
The government should take serious, positive and practical steps to solve this problem. Otherwise, we will be thrown back into a Stone Age where light will be available by gathering sticks and dry grass end burning it.
