Gas crisis

Gas crisis

KARACHI:

Despite being a major producer of natural gas, with places like Sui supplying gas to the entire country, many areas in Balochistan remain without access to this essential resource. It feels profoundly unfair that our province’s resources are being utilised to benefit other parts of the country, while our own people struggle to access basic necessities like cooking gas and heating. We deserve to reap the benefits of our own resources. The government must prioritise the provision of natural gas to all parts of Balochistan. It is our right to have access to the resources that our province provides. I hope that the authorities will take immediate action to address this longstanding issue and ensure that our people receive their fair share.
