Daulatala: The second day of the unannounced gas shutdown continues, the people are humiliated and destitute, the bread vendors are the silver. According to the details, Daulatala Youth Forum Chairman Qasim Ali Qasim while talking to the media said that the gas shutdown has been going on for the last two days in Daulatala, the important commercial center of Tehsil Gujar Khan. Innocent children are forced to go to school without breakfast. Due to the lack of other sources of fuel, the stoves have become cold. The increase in the intensity of the cold and the unannounced gas shutdown are no less than a punishment for the elderly and the sick. Job seekers and businessmen are going to work hungry due to the lack of gas. Meanwhile, the bread vendors of the city have given up. Bread weighing less than 80 grams is being sold for Rs. 15. The administration has gone to sleep drunk while the bread vendors are busy robbing the people with both hands. Despite the existence of reasonable sources of gas in and around Daulatala, the locals are being deprived of their basic needs. The local authorities and elected representatives of all parties are the ones who are responsible for the situation. Demand immediate notice from political leaders to restore uninterrupted gas supply on an emergency basis, otherwise the people reserve the right to protest for their rights.
