The gas supply to different parts of the country has been cut short by 15 hours as now the consumers will receive gas only three times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) as per the decision taken by the federal government on Sunday.
People are livid in both big and small cities of the country that they have to contend with short gas supply in winters, and to make the matter further worse the weather is becoming chillier by the day.
They have said that there is gas loadshedding in winters, electricity outages in summers and to rub salt on their wounds, wood and LPG have also become costly.
