Load shedding

(b) When does load shedding occur?
(c) What problems does load shedding cause?
(d) What should we do to stop load shedding?
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 industrial-comes to a standstill. An all
out effort should be made to stop load shedding.
