Load-shedding has been one of the prime barriers towards the development of Pakistan. Happening in the country for years, the locals suffer from countless hours of electricity shortage every year. What’s worse is how the government bodies in charge always make huge promises regarding the load-shedding in the country and yet no one managed to resolve it completely.
Until now…or as they say…and we would just like to believe them…
According to Pakistan Muslim League Noon (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz and Various Other Figures, Pakistan is Now Free of Electricity Load-Shedding
Umm…

Pakistan becomes free of load shedding at the strike of midnight tonight! As an eye witness to the struggle, adding over 8,500 MW to the national grid was a Herculean ask. Put your political differences aside and look forward to the bright future of this country! pic.twitter.com/DLA5J7TpjF

However, Pakistanis Were Not Pleased by the Claims and Needed Answers!
Given how there hasn’t been any physical evidence, the locals were questioning the claims made by the officials. Furthermore, many shared how they still experience load-shedding in their areas.
Gas load shedding has replaced the electricity load shedding because it's winter season and the electricity load shedding will most probably return in summer 2018. You really think we're that naive? https://t.co/k4z4ZCz1Vr

And it Continues
Thank God it stayed normal: The one-hour loadshedding in F-8/2 of Islamabad at 2 PM.

While the political figures ride the high horse and continue proving how there is no electricity shortfall in the country, the locals have no answer with their experience being the opposite.
Many experts claim the current ‘reduction’ in electricity load-shedding is due to a seasonal effect, which will soon be replaced with gas load-shedding.
If what the government claims is true, we will soon experience the results ourselves, especially during the Summer season, if not before.
