The citizens have demanded the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Company (SNGPC) and other authorities concerned to take steps for regularizing the gas supply.

Shabana, a citizen, talking to APP informed that there was no gas pressure in houses. Low gas pressure forces the citizens to bring breakfast from local bakeries and hotels, resultantly residents had started using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to cook meals while many were compelled to use firewood.

The citizens have urged the authorities concerned to take solid steps and find an immediate solution to the problem.
