Power cuts

Published April 26, 2017

THE hours-long unscheduled power cuts have increased students’ miseries. The power supply company has resorted to six to eight hours of loadshedding.

Because of electricity shortage, the students’ time is being wasted. Their daily routine timetable is disturbed greatly and may also affect their future adversely.

The problem of power outages has been aggravated by gas shortage. The government must act to lessen the intensity of problems.
