As temperatures continue to rise, the number of people coming to hospitals and clinics has increased due to the rapidly increasing temperatures. The situation is compounded by hours of power outage.The main victims of the hot weather and load shedding are mostly children and the elderly who are contracting various diseases due to the extreme weather and lack of sleep at night. On the other hand, students are not able to prepare for their exams and doctors are unable to carry out operations and surgeries due to constant power cuts. Domestic as well industrial and commercial life has been brought to a standstill, the whole situation is aggravated by the non-availability of water.This is unfair...we have 16 hours of loadshedding today, while in Army Housing Areas, they don't suffer at all.My mother-in-law has left for Rawalpindi because she can't stand the heat , at least there...no power outage in my brother-in-law's residence...Hmmmm.....This is just one of the situation where I can say..IF YOU ARE IN THE ARMY....you have too much benefits and privileges especially if you are an officer.
is this in Pakistan sis? that sounds horrible. Philippines is experiencing very hot and humid weather right now and their power situation is not great as well. they have scheduled brownouts. it must be very hard especially during the summer time.
ReplyDelete@ Jenn Yes, it's happening here in Pakistan.THough we have rechargeable fans and lights, it's not enough...we are also using car batteries, candles, gas lamps.Having a generator is too costly as the cost of fuel is getting expensive day by day....only God knows what will happen in June, July & August...when temperature can sometimes reach 50 degrees.

ReplyDeleteLife is hard without electricity compounded with lack of water.My sympathy Amina.
ReplyDeletethat is so saddening. i thought we experience the worst in the Philippines. though the heat is so intense, electricity is better than what you actually encounter. My sympathy as well.
ReplyDeleteSo sad to know this...
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's unfair that a few people can have privileges; and others are suffering :(
