FOR the past couple of weeks people have witnessed an unprecedentedly short supply of power to Larkana, the city of two former prime ministers Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto.

The poor state of affairs can be gauged from the fact that there are six hours of continuous power breakdown every morning, which has paralysed life within the gamut of the Mirokhan feeder.

Repeated complaints to the authorities concerned have been in vain. As a consequence of this, people have become extremely frustrated. In this context, I would like to suggest the following measures

— Electricity should be supplied during working hours.

— There should be non-stop supply of electricity in the mornings while children prepare to go to schools and adults to their jobs.

— Power breakdowns, if needed, from 3am to 6am and then from 7pm to 9pm.

— The replacement of old lines with new flexible-line technology in order to save power losses and cut down on loadshedding.

The PPP government is earnestly requested to alleviate the problems of the people on an urgent basis.
