Pakistan may suffer worst gas crisis in coming years

Islamabad, Jan 13 (UNI) Pakistan might face its worst gas crisis in the upcoming years as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government looks set to follow the same path as their predecessor to execute the politically motivated gas schemes, mainly in the constituencies of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) parliamentarians.
According to a report in The Express Tribune on Sunday, the PML-N government had formed a committee, under Hamza Shahbaz, to recommend gas schemes and during the last months of its tenure it had approved hundreds of gas schemes in constituencies of its parliamentarians, mainly ministers.
However, these projects were left incomplete as the PML-N’s tenure came to an end. In a bid to influence voters, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had used his discretionary powers to approve 100 gas schemes in constituencies of his parliamentarians – a move which ignored an order of the apex court.
