Dear Aswati,

I hope you and your family are in good health and are happy. What else is happening at school? Did you hear about the news about load shedding? I am hearing it for the first time, and my parents told me what it is about. Now, from next week onward, the power will be cut for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night.

The government is imposing load shedding because there is no other way to equally distribute electric power. The main reason that led to a load-shedding situation was the lack of rain. Since the electricity in our state is generated from water, there is not enough water in the dams to develop the needed electric power.

In other cases, equipment damage of the generator can also lead to load shedding. In one way, load shedding is good as it will reduce the consumption of electricity.

Bye and take care
Your friend
