Pindites facing low gas pressure

RAWALPINDI—The people living in various areas of the city are facing low gas pressure since the winter season has begun while some areas have to face gas shortage for many hours daily.
The residents of Muslim Town, Sadiqabad, Haji Chowk, Khuram Colony, Jalebi Chowk, Jahaz Ground, Behari Colony and others told Online that gas pressure is reduced daily from 6:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm to such a level that one even can not meal cook but the authorities have turned a deaf year to all such complaints.
Mian Bilal Anwar, a resident of street No 1, Khuram Colony said, “Gas pressure has dropped sharply, especially after the recent rains. We cannot keep our rooms warm because of low gas pressure. Gas heaters don’t work and we cannot afford electricity heaters.
It is strange that in this modern age we are forced to burn coal for heating.” Raja Mujahid, a resident of Sadiqabad, said, “Today, I had to go to my office without taking breakfast because gas pressure was very low. We have been facing this problem for the one last week. The residents have to face this problem every year but the officials concerned have no time to heed their complaints.” CNG stations in residential areas have reportedly caused gas shortages in residential areas.—Online
