Low gas pressure hits domestic consumers

ISLAMABAD: In clear violations of directives issued by the Prime Minister regarding gas supply to domestic consumers, a number of residents in twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, especially the I-10 sector, are facing acute gas shortage for the second consecutive day.


Bilal Khalid, a resident of I-10/2 sector informed this agency
that he got registered his complaint about low to zero gas pressure
with the Company's helpline yesterday but so far no official visited
his house to rectify the fault.

He said the problem starts from 6.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. and in
the evening from 6.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. due to which working class
and students are facing a lot of difficulties in timely reaching
their offices and schools.

The households are unable to cook meal and they have to adjust
cooking timings.

Some residents of the area informed that the problem starts
especially after the CNG stations set up in the residential areas
start filling gas to vehicles after their three-day weekly off.
