: Local residents in a part of northwestern of Pakistan have to put their lives at risk just to use natural gas to cook food at home reported Anadolu.
“We’re carrying gas in these plastic bags even though all of us are aware of the dangers of this method,“ Hazrat Janan, a local resident, told Anadolu. The residents don’t measure the gas by cubic meters but with a plastic bag, filling locally made bags from here and there. He added that there have been many accidents with this volatile gas in which people got wounded or even died.“We have our own natural gas but we can’t use it safely,“ he lamented.
A bag fills up in 20-25 minutes on average. An electric pump of 2,000 rupees is sufficient to use the “bag gas” in their homes. Through this pump, they can cook food from bag gas in home stoves.“We requested the government develop proper gas infrastructure in our area and protect our lives,“ Janan said.
