Quetta gas shortage

Published November 27, 2020

WITH the arrival of winter, the residents of Quetta are facing many problems created by the shortage of gas. Balochistan is full of natural resources, with gas being one of them. Unfortunately, the provincial capital is facing a severe shortage of the commodity. The residents have no choice except to use gas cylinders to meet their needs. This is an expensive alternative as well as a dangerous one because cylinders need to be transported and need human handling.

The federal and provincial governments need to look into this matter and resolve it.
