I would like to draw the attention of KESC authorities to the frequent breakdowns as well as daily loadshedding of electricity in my area (Nazimabad, Karachi).
There is loadshedding for two hours after every two hours. Frequent breakdowns have become a regular feature for the last month.
Students have to bear great loss of study during this period. Those who have alternate sources of electricity like generators or UPS can survive without the supply of electricity but what should others do? Beside, there are swarms of mosquitoes to suck the blood of the people living this area.
Due to very less rainfall in monsoon season the water level in dams has fallen down. Indus River System Authority (IRSA) is worried that the country has entered a deficiency phase of water level. Water levels in Tarbela and Mangla dams are also 44 percent and 36 percent lower than their capacities.
The government should concentrate on generating electricity from thermal power plants. Projects which are under construction should be completed soon to meet the deficiency in future.
