The 'Co-operation' Begins....

Following some serious protests by the public, the MSEB has finally decided to review its load-shedding policy. The plan is that if the general public manage to reduce the use of electricity, there will be no power-cuts. Talk about grabbing the bull by its horns. The stupidest part of this plan is that though it would solve a part of the problem, it will not go away completely unless there is an increase in the supply and reduction in what the company likes to call "distributive losses" or, in the lay-man's term, electricity theft.
