Severe load-shedding in rural areas

Although electricity production in the country has increased significantly over the last few years, there's no visible progress in reducing load-shedding in the rural areas. While the industrial zones, urban cities, and even district towns enjoy relatively better service, the rural areas are still deprived of sufficient electricity supply despite the fact that electricity consumption is significantly lower in these areas. In some areas, load-shedding often continues for 10 to 12 hours. The government should not discriminate in terms of distributing electricity.
