Load shedding
Load-shedding
is the suspension of electricity supply on certain lines when demand is greater
than the generation. 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. It creates various serious problems. The students are
affected by it if it occurs at night. They sit idly in the dark closing their
books. They suffer terribly owing to load-shedding on the night before their examination.
Mills, factories, industries, all academic and socio-economic institution
seriously suffer due to it. It seems that everything comes to a standstill and
so life becomes rally painful. In a country like ours it is very difficult to solve
the problem of load-shedding. Yet we can go a long way by establishing new
power plants, ensuring planned distribution, reducing system loss and checking
illegal connections. If these are ensured, we may expect to get rid of the
curse of load-shedding. Government should also take effective steps in this
regard.
