7. Load shading
1. Load shedding is the term used to describe the deliberate
switching off of electrical supply to parts of the electricity
network, and hence to the customers in those areas. This
practice is rare, but is a core part of the emergency
management of all electricity networks.
2. When there is a shortfall in the electricity supply, there can
be a need to reduce demand very quickly to an acceptable
level, or risk the entire electricity network becoming
unstable and shutting down completely. This is known as a
“cascade” event, and can end in a total or widespread
network shutdown affecting very large areas of a country.
Some recent examples include the blackouts in northeast
America and Canada in 2003 and across Italy in the same
year.

10. Trance port
• Before the year 1945, the road transport in the provinces now
constituting PAKISTAN was exclusively run by the private bus
operators. As time ran, with the increase in number of
vehicles and quantum of traffic multiplying, the Government
of PUNJAB decided to organize the transport system on proper
footing. In 1945 the Nationalized Transport Service was
established in LAHORE to operate buses on city and intercity
routes. The Government of Sindh followed the suit as
Government Commercial Transport (GCT) was established in
1946 at HYDERABAD. The bus transport services were
gradually extended to serve the entire province. In January
1948 National Transport Service was also introduced in
N.W.F.P. In 1954, on amendment of motor Vehicle Act, 1939,
the Road Transport Boards were formed in PUNJAB, N.W.F.P.
