00:00In addition to the increase in heat, there is also an increase in electricity load shedding.
00:04However, in comparison to last year, the demand for electricity has decreased by 5000 MW.
00:09Currently, the demand for electricity is 23,000 MW, while the total production is only 18,000 MW.
00:14Currently, the total installed capacity in the country is close to 46,000 MW.
00:18Despite this, the shortfall has become 5,319 MW.
00:22After this, the duration of load shedding has become 18 hours.
00:25In simple words, Pakistan has the ability to generate electricity.
00:29But the demand for electricity has decreased.
00:31And the common Pakistani is giving money to power plants at the cost of capacity charges.
00:35But now, the public's tolerance for load shedding is responding.
00:38Today, while protesting against electricity load shedding in Peshawar, demonstrators closed the motorway.
00:44Here, load shedding takes 12 hours.
00:46When one hour comes, there is still a delay of 10-15 minutes.
00:50According to this, our load shedding has reached 20 hours.
00:53It comes for one hour, and it trips three times in one hour.
00:56There is no electricity for three to four hours.
00:58There is no water for one hour.
01:00We are getting electricity in just two hours.
01:02In 24 hours.
01:03Our children are crying in our homes.
01:04It is so difficult to study in our school.
01:06We don't have electricity for hours.
01:08We are getting a bill of 200,000 MW.
01:10Electricity comes in just one or two hours in 24 hours.
01:14On the other hand, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has taken notice of load shedding and called for an important meeting.
01:19Pakistan is facing different challenges.
01:21First, electricity production from costly sources.
01:23The people are paying for this through tariff adjustments.
01:26Second, the capacity payment of power plants.
01:29The electricity that the plants are not producing, but the people are paying for it.
01:34Third, electricity theft and line losses.
01:36These also come in the accounts of the people.
01:38And fourth, according to IMF demands, the end of circular debt and the increase in electricity prices.
01:43This means that only the people are at a loss.
01:45But now, instead of giving relief to the people, the government has decided to subsidize the fertilizer plants.
01:50According to Shahbaz Rana and Ishaad Ansari,
01:53the government has decided to collect two of Punjab's fertilizer plants on imported gas,
01:57despite the opposition of the Minister of Petroleum.
01:59The government has decided to collect the two plants on imported gas,
02:01with a subsidy of 24 billion rupees.
02:04On one hand, the genie of load shedding is out of control.
02:06The people are protesting against electricity bills.
02:08On the other hand, the government is going to collect the fertilizer plants
02:11with the subsidy, industry and electricity subsidies.
02:14It is not difficult to estimate the priorities of the government.
02:18Good night. Allah Hafiz.
