Like chronic diseases, the power, gas and water crisis has gripped the city and there seems to be no end to it. With every passing day the situation is worsening instead of being eased. The supply of power, gas and water is co-related. In fact, it is difficult to resolve one problem separately because water supply is disrupted due to power shortage and power crisis is caused by gas shortage. In this city of 15 million people, most people are hit hard by gas, power and water crises. At present, the gas supply is irregular in vast areas of the city. People are forced to buy kerosene and stoves at high prices. Frequent load shedding is a regular phenomenon in the capital. The government is speaking of various projects to resolve the crisis, but implementation of those will need a few years while the crisis is already acute and requires immediate solution. So, the government should work out some plans for immediate execution, for resolving the nagging gas, power and water crisis.
