Electricity Crisis in Pakistan

It was claimed by politicians when the judiciary will be reinstated, all economic crisis will end in the country. Now after the reinstatement of Iftikhar Choudhry and other judges, we are looking any miracle which can end the load shedding. The TV media which was shouting over judiciary crisis now should shout over the load shedding and economic growth in the country. It should realize the politicians and beurocates that paying the bills to WAPDA by them as well as by their departments is the survival of the WAPDA. Paying bills by laymen or small shopkeepers cannot survive WAPDA untill those who thief the electricity. There are so many factors for the losses of WAPDA due or Karachi Electric Supply Company due to which new sources of generation have stppoed. In my opinion, following are the factors of load shedding:

1.  No new sources of generation as WAPDA have no sources.

2.  Politicians who use free electricity at their homes and industries and intervention in management of WAPDA.

3.  Free use of electricity in Sind and FATA or tribal areas.

4.  Leakage with support of WAPDA staff.

5.  Distrust by foreign investors over infrastructure of WAPDA and its mode of payment .

There may be other factors and you can mention here.
