Some people has risen up and said they will no longer pay the electricity bills as a form of protest during the month of November. I am here to alert people that this is a stupid and uneducated effort at lowering electricity costs and protesting for more electricity.
There are many reason why should not do this I will state a few.
This form of protest is in effective because in order to do so you will have to loose the electricity service to your house, and what you don't use someone else will and will also pay for it.
This form of protest will bring instability and problems to the Pakistani electrical companies, it will make the problems worse and most likely push up electricity prices, because the companies have to make up for their losses to continue providing.
This will also destroy the Pakistani economy, this month to keep people happy the government ordered industries to close down for a few days in order to save power and instead transfer it to homes. This has a domino effect and actually comes around and makes the problem worse. But if people also don't pay their bills it will destroy the economy because our industries will not be functioning and will have a hard time coming back online.
What choices do we have?
We can have peaceful demonstrations or maybe even long marches to alert the government to focus more on this problem.
We can use less electricity within our homes so that someone else may use it, and they won't have to disconnect the power.
We can buy a solar panels and install them on our roof tops and sell unused electricity to the electric company or just replace a certain amount of the electricity bill with self sufficient sources and bring down the prices.
Come up with alternatives ways the government can make power and publicize them and get attention so it these projects may start. (For example Karachi North Nazimabad is an excellent source of geothermal energy, which when the power plant is installed, limitless and free energy will be available for our electric companies, making us less dependent on electricity prices which fluctuate because of fuel prices. )
There are many other things one can do but just don't loose hope if you loose that then its over be hopeful and you will prosper.
Here is a video of some simpleton guy telling people to do boycott, this guy is stupid and has no idea how economy works but I think you guys should have all sides of the story.
This guy says Pakistan is threatened he may not be some kind of agent but his attitude is one which is not good for the country or anyone.
Anyways here's his video.
