It is indeed agonising for the people to put up with the shortage of natural gas along with frequent power breakdowns. Like many other localities of Karachi, the supply of gas has been virtually suspended in Liaquatabad, a densely populated area of the metropolis, for the last several months.
The highly troubling situation has made all gas-related domestic tasks, particularly cooking, quite difficult. Due to the suspension of gas supplies, people of the area are compelled to buy LPG cylinders, which is a significantly expensive affair for lower and lower-middle classes. The authorities concerned should look into the matter on a priority basis and restore routine gas supplies to the affected locality without any delay on any count.
