Load Shedding

Load Shedding

Load shedding is the act of discontinuing current flow over some selected areas to reduce the pressure over the generators or to compensate lack of sufficient current. We the people of Bangladesh are so much familiar to it from our birth that we don't need any definition to understand it. But nowadays it is at it's extreme. Recently it has become a nightmare for the people at every level of society in Bangladesh. Sometimes there are load shedding of more than twenty four hours. We can't sleep in day time, can't read at night, and can’t get news at morning for it - we can do almost nothing for it. Children, old persons and the students are the very sufferers of this curse.

It seems that there is no end to it. Industries, markets, farm areas and everything become inspirational for load shedding. Our agriculture system is somewhat broken down for lack of electricity because the farmers can't get water in dry reason. For this much lack of electricity it seems that the ghosts has taken control over our country. If we can't stop these ghosts, there will be a very sorry ending to our country and no ending to the approaching sufferings. This is said that such crisis must dealt by the government and the people of the country. But for some years they two are working together, energy bulbs are being used in houses, people are no more wasting current as before, electric heaters are no more being used widely, governments are building new plants, but the crisis is getting bigger and bigger. No government are keeping their oaths - or may be is notable for too much problems.

So, now the problem of electricity has almost become personal and must be dealt by ourselves. In our country a better solution is solar electricity. Nowadays it costs less but not that less like our yearly regular electricity bills. A more efficient solution is bio-gas that can be used not only for electricity but also for cooking. We have many talented engineers in our country and they should look at this sector and make more efficient and affordable machines. We can also produce electricity from air if these engineers come forward. Nuclear electricity plant is long lasting after installment but that is very expensive for our country and maintenance cost is even more - so we better don't think about that. Now it is the very time to get out of dreams and deal the problem ourselves and we must cooperate with the government to solve this problem now. As the electricity is the heart of civilization, we have to work hard to sustain this civilization, to sustain ourselves.
