What about incentives to farmers who feed Pakistan but are exploited by middle-men/whole-sellers and given pittance for their crops? Where's the green revolution company, supposed to take us to moon?

It's pity, when more power consumption is required and capacity payments also due without use of electricity, why more consumption bill per unit in not cheaper than less consumption. People are struggling to reduce the consumption to avoid big bills.
