This article really highlights a serious and sensitive issue with great clarity. Load shedding is not just an electricity problem but it directly affects education, economy and daily life, and you have linked it with real ground realities. I think the most important thing that comes across in your writing is that the root of the problem is not just the government or the system but also the attitude of the people. No policy can be fully successful unless we become honest with ourselves, refrain from wrongdoings like power theft. Mention of rural deprivation is also very important as often the benefit of development is confined to the cities. If the government focuses on transparency, better planning and equitable distribution and the people abide by the law. Then surely problems like load shedding can be controlled. Overall it is a purposeful and thought provoking piece that will make the reader think.
