The shortage of gas in several parts of Rawalpindi and Islamabad; despite claims by the concerned authorities for improvement in supply have irked the people as winter season was at its peak. The residents of Rawalpindi and Islamabad were facing shortage of gas which speaks volumes about the inefficiency of the concerned authorities of the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) in providing a basic facility without any interruption.
The problem of gas shortage persists in localities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi including Sadiqabaad, Muslim Town, Haji Chowk and Tarlai. However, despite hue and cry, the SNGPL authorities were not taking practical steps to mitigate the problems to provide relief to the people.
The citizens said they were facing problems at their homes in preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner as the pressure of gas went to zero and the stoves did not work.
A resident of Muslim Town, Amir Riaz demanded restoration of gas supply as early as possible.
Another resident of Tarlai Akhtar Khan said, "We need to heat our homes and cook food, so gas should be supplied according to our needs."
A restaurant owner in Sadiqabaad Hussain Shah said restaurants were also forced to use wood or gas cylinders for making food as there was no gas pressure.
