People in Pakistan are facing shortage of gas. These are the reasons why people are becoming dependent on LPG cylinders. But taking unfair advantage of the situation, the gas dealers there have increased its price.
The holy month of Ramzan is going on but the Pakistani government is leaving no stone unturned in oppressing the people even in this holy month. Before the elections, many political parties here had promised to supply domestic gas without any hindrance in the month of Ramzan. But after the formation of the government, all these promises have become void. Despite the promise, gas has become scarce in the neighboring country during the holy month of Ramzan. Because of this, it has become difficult for people to light their stove. Now people have become dependent on LPG cylinders. Due to which gas prices have increased significantly.
Fed up with the false promises of the government, the people of Pakistan have started relying on LPG gas cylinders for cooking food for Sehri and Iftar. In view of such increase in demand for LPG cylinders, black marketing has also started. Along with this, the dealers of LPG cylinders have taken advantage of the situation and have increased the prices of gas to a record. The general public of Pakistan is troubled by this situation. According to Pakistani newspaper Express Tribune, in Karachi, where this LPG gas cylinder was available for Rs 200, its price has gone up to Rs 500.
Like the people of Karachi, the residents of Lahore are also troubled by a similar situation. City resident Muhammad Ijaz said the government’s assurance of uninterrupted supply of gas during Ramzan was false. “The gas schedule given by Sui Northern Gas Company is not being followed, resulting in gas running out,” he said. Besides, people have installed illegal gas generators in their homes, adding to the plight. ” Whereas Mohammad Umair agreed with Ijaz and said that the government has left the people to their fate. Since there is no gas, if people use electricity the bill becomes very high.
