Load
shedding has become a very common affair in our daily life these days. The
people living in the areas supplied with electricity are quite familiar with
the term load shedding. In the modern world
electricity
plays a very important role in regulating our life. Any interruption in the
supply of this vital item of energy can put the whole system out of order and
simultaneously can paralyzed our daily activities. In our country there is
hardly any area which is not affected by load shedding. Load shedding means the
discontinuation of supply of electricity. Load shedding occurs when generation
of power is less than the demand and when we distribute electricity wrongly. It
creates many problems of far-reaching consequences in the economic and social
development of the country. Most of the mills and factories become idle and for
this reason industrial production declines and workers are retrenched. Social
works and activities cannot go in order. Students cannot study properly because
of the failure of electricity. During load shedding they are to study in dim
candlelight. The housewife gropes in the darkness in the kitchen. The shops are
to close down before the closing time. Spectators in the cinema hall spend
hours in stuffy suffocation for load shedding. All types of productions stop
and the entire life comes to a standstill during the period of load shedding.
So, proper steps should be taken to stop load shedding. By establishing more
power plants, power houses and by stopping unplanned distribution of electricity,
illegal connection and reducing system loss, we can solve this problem.
