Natural gas Pakistan is widely used in Pakistan for cooking and for getting heat in cold. However, due to the reduction in gas reserves, the authorities have reduced the supply of gas to homes, filling stations and industrial units. Secondly, the cost of a cylinder made of carbon steel or steel alloy is 10,000 Pakistani rupees. Because of this, small shopkeepers, poor families and other people are not able to buy them. But they have to cook food, so they have adopted another method. It is so dangerous that hundreds of such shops will be found in almost every city which are working like powder kegs.
