The decision by the government to disband PEPCO and make the distribution companies independent is proving to be real bone crusher. Already hit with the deficit of almost 3500 MW, the country is not limping and bleeding in the economic sphere. Industry and business are hit hard and their production has halted to a zero while the consumers are forced to use other costly alternatives.
Cities, like Karachi, also known as the city of lights, and Lahore, the cultural heart of the country and the city that never sleeps, look like deserted, pre-Pharaoh era towns. Will the countrys political leadership focus on these problems rather than feuding among themselves on who gets what and who gets how much.
