MARDAN: A complete load-shedding of provision of natural gas in areas including Par Hoti, Bako Dheri, Kashmirabad, Faisal Town on Bakhshali Road and Sang-e-Marmar has been in place for the last 65 days.
Since the onset of the current winter season, the gas load-shedding is continuously being observed in these areas. The consumers have been complaining about the non-availability of gas to the concerned authorities but no notice of the issue has been taken by them yet.
A citizen Jamshed Khan argued that the gas load-shedding was humiliating because there is no other source of energy and fire to avail it easily. He complained that on one hand the prices were raised by the present government while on the other the disruption of gas supply and the unannounced gas load-shedding had made their life miserable. “We cannot use electricity for cooking, heating water and other purposes because the costly bill has to be paid while firewood prices too have gone up.
