Citizens of Karachi have been without electricity for 22 hours! Yes, 22 hours in this excruciating heat. Electricity went out without any plausible reason and there was no answer or definitive time frame about electricity restoration from the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation. So, people were left with no option but to curse the government and those who are responsible for providing electricity to the citizens of Karachi.
This frequent and long power outage has left people with no option, but to look for alternatives. However, not everyone can afford this luxury. Still, those who can actually do have generators at their homes and they enjoy almost everything with this facility. So, is this is the only way out? Yes, people in Pakistan are actually producing their own electricity and this is the only way out because the governments consistently have failed to generate and provide electricity and as a result, people are doing whatever they can to continue their life.
It is awful, yes; no electricity across the country but it is time for Pakistani people to generate electricity on their own, period.

The first wave of the Russian offensive in Ukraine has fallen short of Russian autocrat Vladmir Putin’s ambitions. Most analysts deduced that Putin had hoped to achieve a decapitation strike of the Ukrainian government- taking Kiev and replacing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zolinski with a pro-Kremlin voice. Kiev has been threatened repeatedly through the course of […]
On the weekend of March 26th, the notorious MS-13 gang went on a massive killing spree in El Salvador which left more than 70 people dead by Sunday. Even for a country where powerful gangs hold massive sway, this recent tragedy stands out considering that it was the bloodiest day on record since the civil […]
