Load-shedding has become a buzzword now-a-days.Load-shedding is the suspension of electricity on certain lines when the demand is greater than the generation. It occurs when the generation of power is less than the demand. Besides, the unplanned distribution and illegal connection of electricity are also responsible for it. It creates various serious problems. Load shedding may occur at any time.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 institutions seriously suffer owing to it. They cannot produce product.As a result, our country faces economic crisis.Patients in hospital also suffer for load-shedding. Doctors cannot operate for the lack of electricity.Foods get rotten in fridge.Farmers can not irrigate their field in time.So, we do not get expected crops and face the shortage of food.It seems that everything comes to a standstill and so life becomes really painful. In a country like ours it is very difficult to solve the problem of load- shedding. Yet we can solve this problem in some extent 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. The Government should take effective steps in this regard.Along with this, we people should be aware of using electricity. At the same time we should make people aware of the fact. We cannot uproot the problem entirely but we can minimize it to some extent.
