Nepra’s sanction of Rs. 5.40 for electricity is a staggering blow to the affordability of those already struggling. It’s imperative that the government reevaluates this decision, as it threatens to plunge a significant portion of the population into further debt. While India sets its sights on lunar exploration, our nation risks being grounded by the weight of mounting financial burdens and inflation. The choice to burden citizens with such elevated costs for an essential utility raises questions about the priorities of governance. The juxtaposition of our inability to manage rising debt and inflation against India’s lunar progress paints a stark picture of the diverging trajectories of neighboring nations. A more equitable approach to managing the economy and ensuring access to basic necessities is not just a financial imperative, but a moral obligation that can reshape the destiny of our nation.
