Re: No gas for Lahore industries
I understand the emotions but don’t really think this is the reason of shortfall. Firstly, PPP has more members from Punjab than there are from Sindh. Why would they allow it happen to their own province? Secondly, actually this is happening all over the country but more in Punjab.
Looking at a bigger picture, this is what happens when we have incompetent people running the country. While the country is limping due to shortage of power, the government has no immediate plans to stop the shortfall.
There was this talk of Iran pipeline to help the country but then Amreeka baba did not like it. So we gave up that deal as well.
We are in the same mess, my friend. It’s just that for various reasons some places are feeling more pain than others. But if situation continues then we all would nose-dive together.
Here is a news item about CNG shortage in Sindh:
KARACHI: All Pakistan CNG Association announced a shutdown of all CNG stations across Sindh from December 30, while the Karachi Transport Ittehad (KTI) has called for a strike beginning from December 31 in protest against frequent CNG strikes in the city.
…
Federal Petroleum Minister Dr Asim Hussain had said that the government is considering shutting down CNG stations in Sindh for one month if the gap in demand and supply of gas continues.
