Load Shedding Paragraph
The people living in the areas supplied with electricity are quite familiar with the term load-shedding. 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 also for unplanned distribution of electricity. It creates problems of far reaching consequences in the socio-economic development of a country. Houses, mills, factories, industries, shops, hospitals all fall a victim to it. The running mills, factories and industries come to a standstill. Failure of elecricity hampers productivity. Domestic life becomes painful. The housewives grope in the darkness in the kitchen. The sufferings of the students due to load shedding beggar description. The patients also suffer terribly for load-shedding. Operations are stopped. The food kept in the refrigerators gets rotten. The commodities preserved in cold storages get spoiled. In fact, load-shedding causes great sufferings to the people and an irreparable loss to the country. The entire life-domestic and industriai-comes to a standstill. An all out effort should be made to stop load-shedding.
