Blistering heat, cursing load shedding (Pakistan)

Blistering heat, cursing load shedding wreak havoc
KARACHI: Most of the cities all across the country are in the grip of scorching heat, taking life out of the roads and markets giving a picturesque of derelict and deserted place.

On the other hand, Badin fishermen as forecast fearing storm in the sea avoiding sailing deep sea for fishing. Almost all the cities in the Sindh province witnessing a spate of horrible hot weather, as the mercury in several cities shoot up to 49 degree centigrade, while the blazing wave of hot wind send the markets dead devoid of any activity.

The fishermen have blamed the administration not briefing about the impending sea storm, as they have on precaution anchored their boats at safe places and not venturing to go for normal fishing.

The weather situation in the provinces of Punjab, Balochistan and Pakhtunkhaw is no different and the hot wind waves continue lashing, while the prices of cool beverages and the ice have escalated beyond the common man’s reach. 

This is all about nature’s wrath beyond anybody’s control, but the man made afflictions in the shape of 10/12 hours of everyday load shedding have virtually sent the citizens to living a hell of life awful and agonizing. 

The supply of electricity to some areas of district Dayamir of Gilgit Baltistan was disconnected in the last floods, which is still to be restored and the citizens strongly protesting on this depravity due to the inept administration.
