Power cuts

The power cuts has intensified in Syria. From weekly, it has now become daily. Last Thursday, there was a 5-hour power cut in the day time (thank God I was at work). On the same Thursday, as we were preparing for dinner there was yet a 2-hour power cut in the evening. Yesterday, as I leave for work there was again another round of power cut.

Syria is severely short of power in summer when A/Cs are in full-blast and winter when heaters are also in full-blast. And there seems no respite for the time being. They couldn't plant up power stations fast enough neither are there many companies willing to work in power projects here.
