Power outages
discredit
government -letter
Frequent and unscheduled
electricity outages have wrought havoc with the daily activities of the
people of Chitral. Tailors, Laboratory technicians, Computer centers,
Carpenters and other craftsmen whose business run with electricity sit
idly loaded with the assigned burden of work needed to be completed
before Eid.
It seems that some political game is being played at the expense of the
masses, inspite of the fact that two diesel power generators are lying
unutilized that can make for the electricity shortage of the town.
This deliberate power-breakdown shows that some forces are at work to
malign and defame the PPP government as every time during the PPP
regimes artificial load shedding is created so that PPP loving masses
loath their party leadership.
Therefore the people at the helms of affaire are requested that
immediate functioning of the diesel power generators should be started
otherwise the detractors designs will materialize in view of the fact
that our political representatives enjoy their lives in their luxurious,
air-conditioned residents while poor supporters, lives have become
miserable owing to the frequent power-breakdowns.
If our leadership is sincere to keep its party strength intact it should
not only solve the current electricity crisis but also make long-term
strategies for the over-all development of Chitral.
Bashir Hussain Azad,
Chitral.
