Gas supply woes

Letter February 03, 2019
Disruption of gas supply continues in homes, causing convenience in day-to-day life

NAUSHEHRO FEROZE: Last week there had been no gas supply to my house for four days as a result of which our kitchen stove and geyser remained inoperative and we had to feed ourselves with restaurant food. I lodged numerous complaints with the gas company but no one turned up to address the problem.

A kind family in my neighbourhood came to our rescue as a gas company employee working in the service department then visited my house to look into the matter. He replaced the regulator valve on the main line to my house and the supply was immediately restored. With increased demand for gas during winters, there has to be a solution to situations like this instead of the consumer relying on the gas company customer service or gas cylinders that are no less hazardous.
