KARACHI:
Balochistan is consistently grappling with a range of problems. In recent weeks, the issue of load shedding has emerged as a major concern for citizens across the province. Most regions are deprived of this basic necessity, which disrupts people’s daily routines and activities. From household chores to educational and commercial activities, everything comes to a screeching halt due to frequent power outages.
Unfortunately, the provincial government has not taken this issue seriously or found a lasting solution. Unscheduled and prolonged power outages have left people in limbo forcing them to endure extreme weather changes and patterns. I urge both federal and provincial authorities to urgently address this matter and provide much-needed relief to the residents of Balochistan.
