Electrical Power Failure in Pakistan
(Muhammad Usman Habib, Sadiqabad)
Pakistan is the country, rich
in natural resources like water, fertile land and coal etc. which can be used in
agriculture and industries. But lots of such resources are untouched because of
administrative crisis. Baluchistan and particularly lower areas of Pakistan have
plenty of reservoirs of coal that could be utilized to fulfill our electrical
power needs but unfortunately no one has took it seriously to combat the
situation. We produce electrical power through using oil rather than gas, water
and coal. Oil is imported at the cost of heavy foreign exchange earning and we
already are in deficit of foreign exchange. It is highly desired to utilize
local resources to overcome the serious shortage of electricity.
We should reconstruct the Kala Bagh dam and only 7-8 billons are required but
instead of we export batteries and UPS of 11 billons. It is not only the
negligence of our Government but we also become partner of Government in this
matter. Everyone try to fulfill his own desire and try to being comfortable
himself. We should think for whole Pakistan. We are Pakistani and we should
prefer the benefits of Pakistan than our individual benefits. The present stage
of our country at which we stand, it is the stage of do and dies not only for us
but also for the Pakistan.
Pakistan is facing energy crisis for last ten or fifteen years. Our Government
is not taking any considerable action to fulfill these enery crises. The reason
is that we and our Government always depend upon others. Our Government always
thinks for getting aid from IMF but not thinks to improve our economical
condition. We always expect form foreign countries that they would help us and
save us from these crises.
It is my opinion that if we want to rescue our country from every kind of
problems then we should work with diligence and courage. We should not depend
upon others. We should do our duty and not leave today’s work to the next day
because tomorrow never come. We should become partner of our Government to save
our country because single Government can’t execute all the problems. When we
and our Government work together for our country then (InshAllah) we will come
out from these crisis. I have a perfect example that when America dropped atom
bombs on Japan and Japan was the helpless and powerless country at that time but
they did not depend upon others and then they work with diligence, courage, zeal
and spirit. Today Japan is one of the economic powers of the world. Future of
country depends upon its nation. If its nation is lethargic and sluggish then
their country could not survive and if the nation is energetic and sparkling
then its country will progress fast. Then the circumstances of that country will
change and everyone feel peace and clam. That is only way that we can change our
circumstances and defeat crisis. May all the problems and crisis of our country
be solved!
