The headline says, "Commuters brace for 3-day CNG shutdown"

As mentioned in two of my earlier blogs, such news are proving to be nothing short of a noticeable disaster! Not only is the government arrogantly ignoring the public pleas regarding energy stabilization, but also they are not seriously considering providing relief for the long burdened nation of Pakistan. CNG shortage seems to be nothing but a spoof to get the CNG prices deregulated so the CNG companies can digest unjust profits including civilians themselves. If the CNG prices hike today, I believe the CNG shortage will automatically dissolve into regular supply for the days to come. But this would also mean that more Pakistanis will be thrown below the poverty-line. Inflation is simply not in the best interests of the Pakistani public, specifically when quite a large percentage of the population forcefully lives below the average living standards. I hope the government, though corrupt and idle, can figure out some solution to this problem or the moto of suicide bombings will notably shift from anti-Islamic policies to inadequate provision of everyday commodities.
May Allah Bless Us All,
Peace.
