Excessive load shedding in Bonosree

We are already experiencing the summer heat which is likely to increase further in the coming days. In view of the heat, demand for power is also increasing and incidents of load shedding are on the rise. But we, the Bonosree dwellers, are already facing acute power crisis in our area before the advent of high summer. Frequent load shedding is already on. The people of Bonosree are not spared from load shedding even at midnight. The elderly people and children are the worst sufferers. The concerned authorities should address the problem and the citizens should be informed about load shedding schedule, so that they can adjust things according to their requirement. At the same time, as city dwellers, we should be conscious about proper use of the available power supply. We should not use power unnecessarily, as we know we do not have enough power generation capacity.  The government should take up long term planning to overcome power shortage as it is hampering the economic progress of the country. If power generation increases, the economy shall get the necessary boost and more foreign and local entrepreneurs will be encouraged to invest in our country and adequate employment opportunities will be generated.
