AS Karachi braces for yet another hot summer, the winter-specific issue of gas loadshedding is still making life difficult for the residents of various localities in the metropolis. It has become incredibly difficult to perform basic tasks, such as lighting up stoves and gas mantles, and boiling water.

The loadshedding is not only restricted to rather impoverished and underprivileged areas, but it is also being carried out in the posh areas of the city. The government should give some relaxation to the masses. We can only take so much.
