Gas shortage hits Pindiites hard

Staff Reporter
Rawalpindi : The Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) is continuously playing with public lives as the majority of families have been suffering from fever, cough, throat infections, flu, and several other cold-related diseases. The doctors have advised people to keep themselves warm to avoid cold-related diseases but from where could they get warmth without fire which was vanished from all areas, thanks to SNGPL which is continuously providing full-pressure gas to commercial consumers particularly in hotels and restaurants while domestic stoves have run out of gas for over a month.
The supply of natural gas has vanished from over 80 per cent of areas of the city and cantonment board for a week but the authorities concerned are seeing the whole drama with closed eyes.
The residents of the city have appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) to take suo moto notice of the issue as where is natural gas as SNGPL has failed to provide gas for domestic users.
