It was a great pleasure to see new CNG buses running on the road. Citizens of Karachi deserve this type of transport, which carry a standard, cleanness and a symbol of relief for the passengers.
But this is not enough, as per the statistics provided by the CDGK, around 5,000 buses are required to fulfill the public transport need of Karachi and it will take a considerable time to complete this task.
If we recall our memories the same initiative was taken earlier but got failed due to some “reasons”. Anyway this is a good step towards the modern transport system in the city and it will continue to offer better traveling facilities for the hardworking people of Karachi.

LEASING OF ALTERNATE ENERGY EQUIPMENT FOR RESINDENTIAL USE
Power shortage is one of the major issues of Pakistan, which is not only disturbing a common man’s life but also destroying the economics of the country. Although the government is trying to fight the power crises with the help of installation of new power generation units and alternate energy resources, the problem lies there.
I have a suggestion that the government should instruct the banks to start leasing the alternate energy equipment with installation for domestic consumers. The cost of solar and wind turbine unit (both at a time), is approx. Rs. 350,000/- to 400,000/-. These either units or single unit is capable of generating power sufficient for a double story house.
This amount cannot be afford by a salaried person in one go. Therefore, if the banks start leasing this equipment then the domestic consumers can get rid of the headache of load-shedding in a short period.
The cost of this equipment can be recovered in 5-7 years and these are not highly maintainable.
I request the government and the alternate energy board to look into this option because on one side this will reduce the load consumption and on the other side domestic consumers can get the uninterrupted power supply with the piece of mind.
