There is an infamous "bag gas" trade going on in Pakistan right now, and according to reports, people are "moving bombs" there while they collect LNG from major suppliers for their domestic requirements.
Residents of the Middle Eastern nation are now making special efforts to obtain a fire source for cooking as a result of the LNG problem.
The fact that people place the gas in plastic bags, which are the wrong kind of equipment and could leak or explode when exposed to heat or the sun, significantly increases the risk to their activities.
Due to difficulties obtaining legal connections, people have been using gas for home cooking for a long time.

Despite "large estimations" of oil and gas in the Karak region, acquiring gas hookups at home has been a problem since 2007.

Crisis with LNG in Pakistan
Residents' daily lives and needs have been severely impacted by Pakistan's liquefied natural gas supply and connections. According to the reports, the lack of adequate infrastructure in the area has caused some residents to turn to risky operations to meet their needs for cooking and other necessities.
Crisis in Pakistan
With the aforementioned bag gas trade occurring in its communities, the Middle Eastern nation other than Iran is also going through severe challenges in various scenarios around its country. It also saw a variety of concerns with other countries snooping on its citizens and nation, with Prime Minister Imran Khan accusing India of these acts and addressing the UN.

In addition, Pakistan filed a complaint against another tech corporation over another instance of snooping on its residents. The lawsuit alleges that Huawei participated in the use of stolen technology for espionage on Pakistanis, which the nation's IT staff corroborated.
The most recent problem facing Pakistan is the gas shortage and problems that its people are currently facing, which are forcing them to perform risky deeds in order to get by on a daily basis. The bag gas trade is risky since it could sporadically burst, endangering not only individuals carrying plastic bags but also those they pass by or those at home.
