SUI GAS: Residents of the city have complained the low Sui gas pressure. Talking to this correspondent on Sunday, they said they made several complaints to the officials of Sui Southern Gas Company Limited but nothing had been done so far.

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. Women of the area said it was very disturbing for them as their children often had to go to school without breakfast. The residents appealed to the authorities concerned to take immediate action and resolve the problem.
