PESHAWAR: The lack of gas supply and its low pressure in most parts of the provincial metropolis has multiplied the sufferings of the people and started triggering protests by angry consumers.

Although the problem is there in majority of the localities, the worst-hit areas are Faqirabad, Bashirabad, Hassan Garhi No.1 & 2, Zaryab Colony, Kakshal, Kohati, Yakkatoot, Wazirbagh Road, Sard Chah Gate, Dilazak Road, Momin Town, Corporation Colony, Faisal Colony Nauthia, Gulberg, Hashtnagri, Firdous, Gulbahar, Yakatoot, Qissa Khwani, old quarters of the city, Ghari Qamardin and several other villages situated on the Kohat Road and the Ring Road. The citizens complained that either no gas supply at different times of the day or the pressure is too low to meet the needs in this chilly weather.
