New Delhi: The Pakistan government seems to fail its people once again as it cannot provide basic facilities. Due to which, locals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have to get Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in plastic bags.
As dangerous as it sounds, the poeple of Karak district in the province were seen taking LPG gas in plastic bags casually on roads.
This comes after the gas prices were decreased but people lacked cylinders. Amid the severe economic crisis in Pakistan, the prices of cylinder is so high that people rather adopt strange ways.
This method costs them cheap as they can easily get the gas in Rs 500-900. In the state, the prices of commercial cylinders is Rs 10,000.
