Cold weather and a damaged pipeline have spiked alternative fuel costs in Pakistan, straining locals.

Cold weather has disrupted Pakistan's Sui gas supply, causing alternative fuel prices like coal and wood to spike by up to 35%. This has forced tandoors and hotels to use expensive commercial gas cylinders. Local shopkeepers are urging authorities to regulate wood and coal prices to ease the financial strain on the middle class. A damaged gas pipeline in Balochistan has further disrupted supply to areas including Quetta.
