It is true that Bangladesh, once a part of Pakistan came into being almost 24 years later than Pakistan. So it is basically a fact that keeping in views the entire crisis that Pakistan faces, and the shortfalls, Bangladesh would be one step ahead.
The key to eliminate all the difficulties and eradicate all of the problems is that alongside the common man, those who govern the nation and are responsible for the progress and prosperity should equally be determined to keep the situation under control.
One of the most widespread of the problems, is the shortage of electricity in Pakistan, with the demand supply gap rising. Most parts of Pakistan or areas of major cities suffer from prolonged power outages, while the officials in the offices of the power authorities or the state employees enjoy the perk of having electricity around the clock. This is one such act that puts the sense of isolation inside the people, that the rulers enjoy all the comforts while the common man is given nothing at all.
Recently a piece of news caught my attention. Bangladesh has told all of its government officials to avoid wearing suits, jackets and ties during the summer to save electricity used on air conditioning. The Bangladeshi cabinet announced its decision recently, saying officials should wear open necked shirts and trousers changing a dress code that had been in place since 1982. This code was adhered to, at least by the mid and senior level officials who used to don a suit even in the hot months of March-Nov. This change shows the latest steps taken by the government of Bangladesh to curb the shortfall of electricity.
Its shows that the government is concerned about their country and their people. The high officials of Pakistan should also cease to enjoy the high level of comforts and sacrifice their privileges for the betterment of Pakistan
