Loadshedding in Azad Kashmir is testing the nerves of people. Agreed that the power crisis is a country-wide problem and Azad Kashmir cannot be made an exception, but in the absence of a proper schedule for loadshedding people are facing difficulties.
Sometimes the outages last more than twelve hours, irrespective of urban or rural areas. Rawalpindi, just two-and-a-half hours drive away from Rawalakot, has a proper loadshedding schedule. The authorities concerned are requested to implement a uniform loadshedding policy throughout the country.
