The problem of power rationing, or loadshedding, is increasing in many Karachi localities. People pay taxes and exorbitant electricity bills, but continue to face power rationing of up to three to four hours every single day. The situation is becoming increasingly unbearable. Power is a crucial commodity, not a luxury, in contemporary society. Power shutdowns affect people’s comfort and productivity. Many people struggle to finish simple chores or tasks due to power outages. We are the stakeholders in this country, and have the right to receive uninterrupted electricity supply as we pay our taxes and bills regularly. The authorities concerned should devise a permanent solution to this lingering problem. The current age limit of 28 years that has been announced by the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) can be restrictive for many among the aspiring candidates. Considering the under-resourced education system in the province, and the rather tough examination pattern, it is, indeed, difficult for 28-year-old aspirants to clear the competitive exam. The BPSC does offer age relaxation for candidates, but through a long process. It should increase the age limit just as the Sindh and Punjab governments have done to provide more opportunities. The ongoing and never-ending construction work on the University Road has been troubling the commuters who have to dodge potholes while avoiding collision with vehicles jostling for space. Besides, encroachments along the sideways and senseless parking of vehicles have further narrowed down the road. Sadly, the provincial government has shown zero responsibility in carrying out the construction work with any degree of professionalism. It should at least carpet the deteriorated portions and patches on the road to lessen traffic gridlocks.
