Really,it does work in daylight!

By Saniya Khan

Invertors, UPS and Generators have been invented to facilitate people, especially people of Pakistan who have to undergo endless hours of Loadshedding everyday, though KU is exempted from load shedding but sometimes electricity failures makes us suffer whole day.

Mass Communication department happens to be a proud owner of a Generator placed at the back of Department but it is only there to facilitate the evening programme students,because its get dark in the evening and illumination is a problem that’s only when it is turned on, but what about Morning programme students, are they forever destined to take their classes while cooling themselves through paper fans and folders, don’t they need electricity?

Though our classes are built in a direction that we don’t have any illumination problem and its always bright in there in morning, but the blazing sun heats up the temperature in our classrooms to an extent that sometimes even four fans doesn’t seems to work and to make matters worse if electricity goes we have to endure long lectures in this sultriness. Not just this, electricity failure causes news labs to shut down and students have to do without it, no matter they have their exam that day, even the busiest photocopier of KU has to sit hand on hand turning down the students of UBIT who come for photocopies and printouts when there is an electricity failure.

Maybe it costs more to run a generator in daylight than in evening,but we must always keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best, maybe one day VC gives a surprise visit to our department in absence of electricity and that’s when our administration realizes that generators do work in daylight as well!
