The recent increase in power tariff will deliver a devastating jolt to the consumers across the country. Being highly incompetent in producing a single megawatt of energy, it seems highly unjust to demand higher tariff from the public. It is a failure of successive governments’ policies that we have to make do with a faulty thermal over hydel power generation ratio of 70:30 when it should be the other way around.
The government must understand that only mega dams will revive industry and agriculture, put an end to loadshedding forever, bring down prices of food, save Sindh from floods, and confer many other benefits to the economy.
