LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered to carry out uniform loadshedding in all four provinces, Geo News reported on Monday.

 

The court was hearing a petition filed by Advocate Azhar Siddique against loadshedding during Sehri and Iftaar.

 

During the hearing, Chief Justice LHC Umar Ata Bandial remarked that no discrimination should be done on the issue of loadshedding and ruled that it should be carried out on a uniform basis across the country.

 

The Chief Justice LHC also referred to some newspaper stories regarding less loadshedding being carried out in areas where the prime minister and other ministers reside.

 

The court, moreover, issued notices to the federal government, Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) and other concerned authorities for August 7.

In a situation, if that home receives only 5 breads, then it is totally non-sense to say give 2 breads to the persons living in Second Room and 1 bread to the person living in Third Room. The share for First Room should be remaining 2 breads for 7 persons. I hope that you can understand now, the reason of this judgment? Briefly, the resources or deficiency is distributed proportionately, which is the real justice.

LHC has rightly remarked on the issue of shortage of electricity. It is a matter of common sense .In a home, there are three rooms with 10 persons living therein; First Room 7 Second Room 2 and Third Room 1 person. In case, if there is availability of only 10 breads (chapatis). Then this is understandable that the persons living in First Room receives 7 breads (70%).

LHC is doing the right thing. If Punjab is consuming 70% electricity then how is it possible that Punjab has the most loadshedding in the whole country? If there is 4 hours of loadshedding in Sindh or KPK then there should not be 18 hours of loadshedding per day in Punjab. There is too much difference. It should be uniformly distributed.

Nothing will be happened,even court intervened. The whole system has been corrupted by Zardari Bhatto. They are playing with people's faith. Actually we will have to correct ourself first to banish Zardari Bhatto.

If Lahore High court wants to do justice it should provide All provinces the same amount of electricity. Punjab is consuming 70% but wants to get more from the share of other provinces. LHC has compromised its credibility by promoting injustice.

LHC should also order uniform development, uniform facilities like health, schools, jobs etc. LHC should also share wheat. It always promotes interests of Punjab. Punjab is already consuming 70% of electricity and now through LHC it wants to further dent other provinces.
