LOAD-SHEDDING
Everybody, in all areas provided with electrical energy is familiar with the term 'load-shedding'. It means discontinuation of the supply of electrical energy. Load-shedding is a great curse where people have got used to an electricity-oriented life. It occurs when the generation of power is less than the demand. Besides; unplanned distribution and illegal connection of electricity are also responsible for it. When the production of power falls short of the total requirement, the supply of energy is suspended temporarily at one area in order to provide adequate power in another area. On account of load-shedding, the big cities and industrial areas suffer most. All on a sudden, streets are covered with darkness with a few lights of cars and buses flashing here and there. The running productive machines come to a standstill in, mills and factories. The sufferings of the students due to load-shedding beggar description. They sit idle in the dark closing their books. The curse of load-shedding does not spare even the hospital. The research materials and medicines kept under controlled temperature and in refrigerators are damaged. The commodities preserved in cold storages get spoiled. To .get rid of this problem, we need to take effective steps to produce adequate power, planned distribution, to set up more electric plants, to disconnect the illegal connections, to prevent misuse, and to keep open the shopping places and business centres during a schedule time. However we want that our government should think over the matter and take necessary steps as early as possible.
