When one part of Karachi plunges in darkness for saving electricity, the night sky of the other parts remain brightened due to flood lights and excessive lighting in shops and market places. There are also searchlights looming across Karachi sky, announcing the presence of certain shops somewhere, or more aptly the arrogance of the shop-owners. This is sheer senselessness and recklessness on the part of the Karachi people.
On the face of huge, and undeniable, energy crisis in the country if people themselves cannot show any sense of responsibility, and they must go on merry making in tremendous flood lights, then some authority should come up to switch of all such excessive lights, particularly when other parts of the city are in the dark.
The government should show an iron will to curtail all such extravaganza. But it seems that, after becoming entangled in 'war on terror', over the last a few years, the Government has forgotten its job in civil society.
