Loadshedding in Pakistan has once again become severe, with even the capital facing hours of power outages, while many areas suffer up to twelve hours daily. This is especially troubling at a time when students across the country are appearing for their board examinations. Students are forced to study in heat and darkness, which is affecting their preparation and performance. These exams are crucial for their future, yet they are being held under difficult and unfair conditions. The government must take immediate steps to reduce loadshedding, at least during exam hours, so students are not further burdened.
