Syed A. Mateen | 13 years ago | Reply I don't believe it. Load shedding cannot end from Karachi or Pakistan. Power Companies do not shut down the electricity during Eid holidays and this does not mean that load-shedding has finally come to an end. It is the prerogative of the power companies to supply uninterrupted electricity to their respective consumers. But the power companies and more interested to save the money by not purchasing the oil and gas to generate electricity throughout the year.
