No gas, no electricity. It seems Pakistan is on the path of regression instead of progress. One of the biggest issues of our governance is that adhoc and short-term measures are preferred instead of long-term measures. Take the gas load for instance. The conversion of vehicles was touted much by the previous governments without paying any heed to what would happen a few years down the line. Similarly, the load shedding crisis is also being managed on an adhoc basis. When the people rioted, funds were released on an emergency basis but we’re back to square one now that those funds have been used up. If we do not fix the structural problems that beget these crises, then we’ll surely be sending ourselves back to the stone ages.
