Waqas 48 Posted October 31, 2009 KARACHI: Pakistani clocks have been rewound to 11pm when they stroke 12am on Saturday, Geo news reported. Pakistan standard time has been changed, as the clocks have been reversed by an hour on Saturday, the eve of November 1 all over Pakistan. The people of Pakistan have expressed aggravation upon changing of the standard time twice a year and are annoyed by continuous electricity loadshedding. The clocks were reversed by an hour at the midnight of October 31, this way the clock stroke 12 am twice a day. The government announced to set clocks an hour ahead for daylight saving drive on 15 April 2009 in order to save the electricity by consuming daylight hours for work instead of generated electricity. The citizens feel aggravated on setting clocks by an hour ahead or an hour reversed, as confusion sets in among the masses. They said that day light saving drive is an illogical and unwise government decision, they said that they have to suffer long hours of unannounced power outages in cool weather despite paying electricity bills on time. The KESC has stated that setting clocks an hour ahead and using daylight for electricity saves approximately 140-150 megawatts per day; however subscribers do not sense this power saving. The subscribers have declared the daylight saving move futile as after enduring long power outages in summers, they are suffering long hours of continuous electricity load shedding in winters also.
