BAHAWALPUR - WINTER WOES. INHABITANTS OF BAHAWALPUR REGION ALREADY HABITUAL OF FREQUENT POWER BREAK DOWN, BUT NOW THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM LOAD SHEDDING OF GAS

WOW, WHAT A GREAT GOVERNMENT OF MUSLIM LEAGUE (N) DURING THEIR REGIME, THE STOVES OF HOUSEHOLDS REMAIN COLD.  

WOMEN,    CHILDREN,     STUDENTS, PATIENTS  &  SENIOR  CITIZENS   ARE MAIN VICTIMS.

In Pakistan, till about a few years ago, the word "LOAD SHEDDING" was only used in terms of ELECTRICITY SHORT FALL.  However, now,  the people of Pakistan is also suffering from both  "GAS & ELECTRIC LOAD SHEDDING" frequently especially "GAS FAILURE / SHORTFALL"  in Winter. 

During the last few years we have seen incredible rise in the non availability  of gas across the country resulting in extreme inconvenience for everyone especially women are the main victims by the unbalanced schedule of load shedding  of gas by the authorities. Even making a simple CHAPATTI  has become next to impossible, that's why people have been forced to buy DANGEROUS & RISKY GAS CYLINDERS. Simultaneously rates of LPG Cylinder, Coal and Fire Wood have also been increased considerably  besides this new connections for GAS are extremely difficult for common people.

Mostly people have even resorted to illegal methods like installing motors / compressors  for sucking gas in their stoves, which   suck  all   the  gas   from neighbouring pipelines resulting in a very unbalanced distribution,   due to these dangerous & risky activities, lots   of people left completely without gas, 

and the other hand may causes heavy accidents. 

Women & men, young & old, people are protesting against prevailing gas & electricity load shedding around the country,  due to  unscheduled & prolonged load shedding of gas as well as electricity,  has multiplied the sufferings of people in different shapes, housewives facing too much problems to run their kitchen smoothly as due to lack of natural gas their is very low pressure or flame in stoves that's why they can't cook breakfast,  lunch or dinner properly and compel to bring food stuff from market which is very much expensive and unhygienic.  Besides this the residents have to use fire wood for preparation of meals, water heating taking bath  and other purposes  as well which is not affordable for everyone as heaters and geysers are useless by the shortage of gas.

At present era different type  of  diseases with patients are common at every home and we can't take care properly our loved ones due to frequent load shedding, which effecting almost every sphere of life including businesses, professionals, skilled,  un skilled, lab ours, students, farmers, housewives, hospitals and construction activities as suspension in power supplies meant stoppage of work involving electricity or gas.  No one can calculate personal and collective economic losses suffering during load shedding both urban and rural areas.

The cruel schedule of load shedding in morning time is not affordable for common people  because everybody in rush  to reach their destination but  gas  pressure restore in stoves at 7:30 am only for two hours and at 9:30 am then gas pressure lost,  after lapse of long period again gas restored at 5:30 pm in evening  for two hours & will disappear overnight, breakfast for family specially for school and office going couldn't  properly prepare nor lunch timing observed by the authorities. This is an abuse of powers,  by authorities.

In my opinion, if government take some serious remedial measures for the reduction of both shareholding, or , if this reduction remain sustained and government is able to eliminate the menace of crippling shortage by the end of its tenure it would surely reap the benefits in the next General Elections.  

In this context I would like to request to     Prime    Minister     of   Pakistan

Mr. Muhammad  Nawaz Sharif to please  look  into the matter personally and ordered to SNGPL authorities to investigate and resolve this issue urgently for the relief of citizens of Pakistan  as you have already committed in last General Elections  with people to eliminate electricity and gas load shedding.
