Rawalpindi, Pakistan/IBNS: A large number of people in Pakistan's Rawalpindi city are braving severe cold weather without gas as Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) has completely failed to control the gas crisis in the region.

The residents are bringing three-time meals from hotels, and the hotel owners are taking full advantage of the present situation and selling all dishes at skyrocketing prices, presenting an excuse that they were using expensive LPG for over two months, reports the News International.

The drop in temperature is creating trouble for people as the gas crisis is increasing everyday.

The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) Senior General Manager Mukhtar Shah told The News International that he had directed to take strict action against the users of ‘gas sucking compressors’.

Majority of consumers are deprived of natural gas due to ‘gas sucking compressor’, he said.
