Kashmir on the edge: no water, no heating, no peace

I am talking about INDIA.

Almost 300 million people don't have access to electricity.
Power Problems Threaten Growth in India - WSJ.com


About half of India's 1.2 billion people have no access to power and less than a third of sub-Saharan Africa is electrified.

you indians have no right to talk about Pakistan.

Despicable!! ..isn't it??

But still you will find percentage access to electricity in Pakistan still lower than India's...and thats not even the worst part.
Having access to electricity is one thing..you most pertinent and far more serious problem is load shedding..which is people getting no electricity(most of the time)..despite having access to general access to electricity. (would you like me to post some figures on that?)

I said what is useful and on point. Stop trying to divert the topic ares. I know you're quite used to doing it, but it won't workh ere.

I suggest no one (at least Pakistanis) reply to ares. The guy is a certified troll and always tries to divert the topic to irrelevant discussions when one tries to discuss the not-so-positive aspects of incredible bharat.

Too bad they already replying ..but important point to note here is..I am still talking about electricity problems ..you are actually talking about other "posters"!!
Do point out..where you have anything useful, too the point or even related to the topic?

More people never seen electricity in your supa powah india than the entire population of Pakistan combined multiplied by 2 and still you are obsessed about Pakistan. Go worry about the 300 million+ indians who burn leaves to keep warm in hindustan every year.

Load shedding in Pakistan is happening because of the corrupt PPP government. 7 years ago, it never happened as much, while india has always denied their population electricity.

 

[Omar1984]

Pakistan needs to support the Kashmiri people of Pakistan by all means, they Kashmiri people and Pakistan are one. Pakistan needs to support the freedom movements in Hindustan.

I agree. Pakistan should support the Kashmiri freedom struggle as well as the Khalistan freedom struggle and Maoist and Naxal insurgency movements in India.

And India Occupied Kashmir doesn't have to join Pakistan, they can just break away from India and make their country. That also works for Pakistan.

That is because we have seven times more population...but even with such a large population ..you will notice how percentage access and availability of electricity is much better in India than in Pakistan.

Besides as pointed out before ..just like Kashmiri people have been facing for past couple of days..your biggest problem is not access to electricity but load shedding.

Atleast in Kashmir the problem is temporary(due to broken power lines)..where as in your country ..load shedding is perennial and annual problem.

Again you don't know what you are talking about.

Pakistan:
Availability of electricity is currently considered to be the main constraint to economic activity. The sector faces a large gap between supply and demand, leading to widespread load shedding and forcing many firms to invest in captive supply. One in every six firms identifies power as a major, or severe, obstacle to business, while only 65 percent of households have access to electricity.
Pakistan compelled to downgrade growth estimates: WB report


According to the study conducted by Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) on development of the power sector, adequate power supply is needed to achieve sustainable economic growth, but presently, only 65 to 70 percent of the 172 million population has access to electricity.

While only half of India's population has access to electricity:

India is home to the largest number of people without electricity. Half of Indian households do not have access to power, which constitute a third of the world’s population without electricity.

As for load shedding, it was uncommon 10-20 years ago. PPP government is the problem not Pakistan.

Where are the Indian tall claims of development and prosperity in IO Kashmir?

You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you? Present power problems in Pakistan are related to what hasn't happened 10 years ago, not what didn't happen in the last 4 years. though I must say, the present government doesn't seem to be doing much either.

 

[Roybot]

In the midst of the worst cold wave in decades, Kashmir is freezing and pitch-dark, reeling from a severe electricity shortage. The immediate causes are broken transmission lines which triggered 12-18 hour power cuts, and therefore street protests.

Do you guys ever bother to read

Don't try manipulate statics by quoting figures for both countries from separate sources

Your figures are wrong!!

India has more percentage access to electricity.
Access to electricity (% of population) | Data | Table

As for load shedding, it was uncommon 10-20 years ago. PPP government is the problem not Pakistan.

So? It is there now and its acute ...infact it is much more acute than anywhere in India.

There wasn't load shedding problem in Kashmir until couple of days ago, when power cables got knocked out...what does that tell you about India and pakistan?

According to your source, there is only a 4% difference. What happened to super power india? Even when Pakistan is in the middle of a war and a financial crisis there is only a 4% difference in availability of electricity.

Forget about Kashmir. What about the 400 million indians who can only dream of getting electricity in their supa powah india

Where did I say anything about super power India..
Contrary to you.*
I said situation in India is better than Pakistan..which it is.




I see you are still not past giving your standard excuses? ..What does WOT have to do with access to electricity?..If electricity cables itself have not laid in village ..then how can WOT disrupt it?

Forget about Kashmir. What about the 400 million indians who can only dream of getting electricity in their supa powah india

Rest of Indian is still doing better than rest of Pakistan ..how does that make you feel?

Another important point to note is...unlike Pakistan in India, when a village finally gets electricity line ..they do get power and not just loadshedding.

Right the only place where it doesnt happen is super of the world india

look mate this happened because the power lines were snapped due to heavy snow , now i was in Madison in dec 10 and during a bad snowstorm the power lines snapped . had no power for 4 days . so its possible any where in the world (including the world only superpower)
now if you wish to equate this into saying Kashmir is worse off in India . go ahead . what ever floats your boat .
but do take a look around your own country and do enlighten us with the achievements of your country for a change. show us the superpower you are.

the people who constantly harp on this forum about "superpower" are Pakistani members .
yeah we do talk about it , but its to highlight an achievement . how come Pakistani members here don't highlight theirs.
