PML-N Labour Wing City President Shabbir Ahmed has welcomed the federal government's initiative to install new gas pipelines and upgrade the gas distribution network across Rawalpindi, describing it as a significant public welfare project. In a statement, Ahmed thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif for extending the facility to residents of various union councils in the city.
Project Areas and Benefits
Ahmed noted that the modernization of the city's gas transmission system and the installation of new pipelines would improve gas supply and ensure better services for consumers. He highlighted that the project would benefit residents in several parts of the city and district, including Raja Bazaar, Dhoke Hassu, Gawalmandi, Arya Mohalla, Bagh Sardaran, Kohati Bazaar, Banni, Mohanpura, Dhoke Kashmirian, Asghar Mall, Committee Chowk, Saddar, Rawalpindi Cantonment, Satellite Town, Chaklala, Westridge, Pirwadhai, Tench Bhatta, Dhamial, Adiala Road, Girja Road, Naseerabad, Gulzar-e-Quaid, and other suburban areas.
Winter Gas Pressure Improvement
Ahmed expressed confidence that the project would significantly improve gas pressure, particularly during the winter season when consumers frequently face low-pressure issues. According to him, the enhanced distribution network would not only benefit domestic consumers but also support commercial and business activities by ensuring a more reliable gas supply.
Government's Commitment to Public Services
Shabbir Ahmed said the provision of essential public services remains one of the government's top priorities and that strengthening the gas infrastructure reflects this commitment. He added that the growing population and increasing urban demand had made the expansion of the gas distribution system a necessity.
Efficiency and Timely Completion
Ahmed further said that the installation of new pipelines would make gas transmission more efficient, improve the stability of the supply network, and enhance service delivery for consumers in the future. He expressed hope that the project would be completed on schedule, enabling millions of residents across Rawalpindi district to benefit, especially through improved gas pressure during the winter months.
Commendation for Authorities
The PML-N Rawalpindi City president also commended the efforts of the relevant authorities involved in implementing the project and expressed optimism that other public welfare and development initiatives would also be completed at the same pace to improve the quality of life for residents in both urban and rural areas of the district.
