Unbearable electricity bill

I was simply shocked when I received my electricity bill of June, 2012. It was three times more than my usual monthly bill. One fails to understand when people are suffering immensely due to load shedding every now and then and ever increasing price hike of essential commodities, how can the government impose such an abnormal increase in power tariff again?
Within last 6 months the government has increased the power price quite a number of times without minimum consideration for the general public. The current rate has become unbearable even for the affluent people of the society. It looks like there is an autocratic government in this country and they can do whatever they want to do and is least bothered about public sufferings. I don't know whether the energy adviser pays any electric bill at all. Even if he pays, he may not feel the pinches because of his power and position. Who will come to our rescue from such tyranny? Only Allah can help us.
