WE are in the habit of wasting precious resou-rces. First we supply gas to our houses through pipelines.

Then we supply gas to distribute electricity.

The best way is to stop the supply and distribution of gas to CNG stations and households.

Instead, gas should only be supplied to electricity generating units, small or big.

By stopping the supply of gas to CNG stations and houses, we will save the cost incurred on gas supply system.

All domestic cooking and heating should be shifted to electricity or Liquified Petroleum Gas.

Electricity is much more efficient and of multi purpose use as compared to gas.

Since electricity produced on gas will be quite cheaper as compared to electricity produced on oil, the tariff shall also be quite lower and within the reach of the common man.
