Balochistan is gripped by an intense winter, creating severe challenges for daily life as residents struggle to cope with plummeting temperatures. The ongoing gas shortages and load-shedding have worsened these difficulties, leading to frequent protests across the province.
Residents in major areas, including along key highways, have taken to the streets to voice their frustration over the lack of gas supply. The scarcity has left people without essential heating, cooking, and other appliances during the cold months.
Tragically, the reliance on gas cylinders has led to several fatal incidents, with dozens reported injured or killed in explosions linked to these makeshift solutions.
Despite the worsening crisis, neither the Balochistan government nor the Balochistan high court has managed to resolve the issue, intensifying public anger. The inadequate gas supply has not only disrupted daily activities but also triggered health concerns, with hospitals experiencing a surge in patients suffering from cold-related illnesses.
This crisis highlights the failure of administrative measures to address the problem. Citizens have urged the government to take immediate action to end gas load-shedding and alleviate the hardships caused by this critical shortage.
