Dwindling gas supplies

Dwindling gas supplies in many areas of the city have rendered many households in a bad condition. Most areas do not get gas on a regular basis and apparently there is no official indication from the authorities that regular supply will be restored in near future. It is seen that many households literally have to wait for hours for gas pressure to increase and in some cases the supply is so negligible that they cannot even cook rice or boil water properly! We strongly feel that the problem has arisen due to government's lack of farsightedness in controlling the situation in the right manner. It is also important to mention that due to mushrooming of innumerable CNG stations in the city, the gas supply for household use has decreased. We think people who own cars can very well afford to buy petrol for their cars. So, government should stop supplying gas to the CNG stations so that general people can get respite from gas crisis.
