Students’ ordeal

Prolonged power outages have been hampering students’ efforts to prepare for their examinations. They are unable to concentrate on their studies because of sleeplessness at night and excessive hot and humid weather conditions in the day, resulting in anxiety and low grades.

An overwhelming majority cannot afford expensive and costly generators to offset the effects of loadshedding. The authorities concerned are requested to devise the load management schedule in a way that is least troublesome, especially to students.
