Power riots erupt across Pakistan

Updated at: 1328 PST, Monday, October 03, 2011 GUJRANWALA: Frustrated with the increase in power outages, residents of several cities took to the streets in protest, Geo News reported. Angry protestors set ablaze vehicles and a petrol station in Gujranwala while five people including a DSP and SHO were hurt during clashes between the protestors and police. The situation is similar in Gujrat were power riots are also taking place. Three government vehicles, 12 motorcycles and the Gujranwala Electric Power Company (Gepco) complex were set afire by protestors. Protests are also taking place in Lahore for the second consecutive day. The city is experiencing 14-18 hours of loadshedding and this has also led to a water shortage. Loadshedding has also taken its toll on residents of Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur and other cities of southern Punjab. The situation is similar in Balochistan where several cities are without power for up to 18 hours. Over in interior Sindh and Karachi residents are living without electricity for at least 10 hours. Residents of the metropolis are left with no other option but to protest as the KESC claims that not enough electricity is being supplied from the national grid. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA at least 14 hours of loadshedding is taking place leading to water shortage in several areas.

During the summer, the body can convert light from the sun into ample amounts of vitamin D with just 10-15 minutes daily exposure. That’s not possible during the winter months when the angle of the sun sinks lower into the southern hemisphere. From the beginning of October through March, the angle of the sun prevents much of North America from getting vitamin D making vitamin D-rich foods essential during the winter months. While getting out in the winter to play in the snow, jog, and ski are all ways to remain healthy and happy you should still be consuming vitamin D foods. The current recommendation is 400-600 IU per day.
