Gas Loading Shedding in Punjab

There were 3 CNG filling stations in Quetta in 2008 compared to thousands in Lahore and Karachi. With most of Baluchistan without gas connections, clean water and electricity, we cry about load shedding in Punjab. Ironic.

The town of Sui, located near that gas field that provides a huge chunk of our natural gas supply, was deprived of a natural gas connection for decades. Why do we expect the industries of Punjab to flourish at the expense of Baluchis?

Don’t give me that same old story about tribal chiefs of Baluchistan hindering development there. When it comes to resource exploitation, we “establish government’s writ” there and when it comes to responsibility, we shift it to the tribal chiefs with whom we sometimes negotiate through barrels of guns.

That is a very sad story of Pakistan.
