Gas shortage worsens across the country

ISLAMABAD: Gas shortage continues to worsen across the country with the onset of the winter season.

Karachi, Hyderabad, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Quetta among several other cities faced low gas pressure.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz legislator Aneeza Fatima tabled a resolution in the Punjab Assembly against the non-availability of gas and demanded that the federal government should ensure the availability of the utility in every household by all means.

“The non-availability of natural gas speaks volumes about the incapacity of the government,” she added.

The resolution further stated that the winter season still had not reached its peak while there was already a disruption in gas supply to both commercial and domestic consumers.

The announcement of providing gas to the masses only three times a day shows the incumbent government’s inability to fulfill their needs.

“Although it is the prime responsibility of the state and the incumbent government to provide facilities and mitigate the problems they are facing, gas has become expensive and is unavailable since the PTI rose to power,” the resolution read.

“I urge the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led federal government to ensure maximum relief to the masses in these hard times,” Fatima concluded.
