What happened
Due to surging liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices and gas supplies being available for only six hours daily, low- and middle-income households in Rawalpindi have begun using firewood, coal, and kerosene oil for cooking. This shift has caused prices for coal to rise to PKR 800 to PKR 1,000 per maund and dry firewood to rise to PKR 1,500 to PKR 1,800 per maund. The price of a new gas cylinder has also risen from PKR 10,000 to PKR 13,500.

Why it matters
The scarcity of gas and the resulting increase in essential fuel costs are contributing to continuous food price surges and broader economic instability in Pakistan. Residents have also voiced concern over the district administration's inability to implement official rates in Faisalabad.
