Load-Shedding has become a part of our life. Write a paragraph on "Load Shedding".

Load shedding means the discontinuation of supply of electricity. It happens when the generation of power is less than demand. We have fewer power plants to generate power compared to the huge demand. As a result, most often short fall of electricity occurs. So to cope with the shortage of power generation, the flow of electricity of some areas is stopped for some time. This results in load-shedding. Load-shedding causes a great harm to the socio-economic development of a country. Mills and factories are paralysed for the time being. Shops, hospitals etc are affected by it. Production is hampered owing to it. Domestic life also becomes painful. Students, housewives, patients fall a victim to load-shedding. As load-shedding causes great sufferings to the people and irreparable loss to the economy, it should not be continued. More power-plants should be set up. Apart from this, electricity should be distributed in a planned way. Above all, the government should take effective steps to stop load-shedding.
