No bed of roses

Sir: The incoming government should first
try to recover the huge amounts of unpaid electricity bills from
industries in the country’s largest province (including, perhaps, the
Sharif family’s own Ittefaq Foundries). I am sure this will go a long
way to reduce the quantum of load shedding in the country. Later, the
Punjab government can tackle electricity theft, which is responsible to a
great extent for the current power crisis. However, it is doubtful if
the new prime minister will alienate his party members by taking such
radical measures.
