Meanwhile, the residents of Tareen Road, Arif Road, Mir Khalilur Rehman road, Prince road, Toghi Road, Tail Godam and different other areas of the city have demanded of the SSGC authorities to take an immediate notice of the low gas pressure, which is otherwise taking heavy toll on their lives in the severe cold weather.
