A delegation of women from the Bunder Road area met with the high officials of the company and complained against the low pressure of the gas, especially on Fridays and Sundays.

The people of Frere Road, Bunder Road, Shahi Bazaar, Sarafa Bazaar and other areas said it was almost impossible to cook some thing on it.
