Zero pressure: As mercury plummets, so does gas

ISLAMABAD: As cold weather is gradually becoming harsher, natural gas supply has shrunk in many areas of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi with low to zero pressure. Residents of sectors G-8, G-6, G-7, G-9 and I-9 sectors have urged the authorities concerned to take notice of their ordeal because of low gas pressure and take remedial measure to improve gas supply. Households have to face problems to prepare breakfast or cook meals on working days in general and on weekends in particular. Meanwhile, residents of various localities in Rawalpindi, including Waris Khan, Committee Chowk, Dhoke Khaba, Umer Road, Dhoke Elahi Bukush, Nadeem Colony and Arya Mohallah have also complained of low gas pressure. The area people have to hold demonstrations demanding proper gas supply.
