Energy Crises

            

                                       

               Today we are going to talk about the energy crisis that has plagued Pakistan for a long time.  The crisis has been going on for a long time and it is getting worse with each passing year due to which Pakistan’s industry, commercial customers, and labors are facing severe problems like shortage of electricity, gas which need great attention.

              The sector most affected by the energy crisis is industrial sector which is shut down due to lack of energy in summer or winter. Thousands of workers lose their jobs and Pakistan's export orders are severely affected. Power outages and the disappearance of gas in the winter indicate that there is no intensive work being done and preparations are not being made for the time to come and the government mission is not serious about this. Pointing out that the energy shortage that has been plaguing Pakistan for the last several years is still continuing till today. The situation of energy crises is becoming worse every passing year which is an alarming situation for everyone in Pakistan.

                Today, the energy sector is the most important sector, but like the previous governments, the current government did not take any special interest in this sector and did not take any steps to avoid gas and electricity load shedding. Pakistan is one of the countries in the world who is facing severe energy crises.  The population of Pakistan has grown rapidly, but the industrial sector, the domestic sector and the gas supply sector are still facing severe shortages.  Pakistan has to take this issue seriously now or else the situation could get out of hand.  The stoves of the labor homes are also shut down during energy crises. As many listen to Pakistan, which has a significant textile industry, its export orders are also severely affected. Bangladesh and India are not facing shortage of energy crises and due to this reason their exports are higher than Pakistan. But Pakistan is facing severe shortage of energy crises which is also effect exports of Pakistan.

              It is also noteworthy that if the government instead of fulfilling its responsibility shifted the responsibility to the previous governments, the country is facing energy shortage today due to their incompetence. In fact, no steps have been taken to address the energy shortage. This is not a bad thing that happens twice a year but lack of strategy and incompetence on the part of any government. In other words you can say that it was bad governance. Load shedding in summer and disappearance of gas in winter is a usually happening for last many years, but no steps have been taken to solve it. If the situation continues like this then how will Pakistan compete with other countries in the region and Pakistan's exports are badly affected. Unemployment increases every year. Every year workers face problems like unemployment and domestic consumers are also facing many problems due to load shedding of gas and electricity. Recently, Pakistan failed to purchase LPG to avoid gas load shedding in winter, due to which the gas crisis has risen sharply with the onset of winter season. Children have to go to school without breakfast. Businessman’s and job persons have to go to their offices without any breakfast. Pakistan will have to assess its energy needs and take action accordingly so that in the summer and winter season you will save population of your country from energy crises.

           In fact, the population of Pakistan has grown very fast with the increase in energy needs but due to lack of measures at the government level the country is facing a severe energy crisis. This energy crisis intensifies with each passing year. The main reason is the lack of action. Until the energy crisis is resolved, you will not be able to compete with other countries in the region. You will always have problems. Your industry will be shut down every year. Millions of workers will continue to be unemployed and this spectacle will continue. There are large scale oil refineries in Pakistan but they cannot help to solve the energy crisis. Planting a plant and importing gas ahead of time can save you from energy crises. Countries that are facing shortage of gas are saved by buying LPG from Qatar, Iran and Russia and convert it to gas. But Pakistan failed to buy LPG this summer for upcoming winter season, which it had to convert to gas and supply the same in winter season. The gas crisis has intensified and has badly affected the performance of government of Pakistan as well as population of Pakistan.
