Pakistan is facing serious shortages of electricity, natural gas, petrol, and even internet services, making daily life difficult for millions of people. These problems are getting worse due to rising global fuel prices and tensions in the Middle East. Power cuts, sometimes lasting for hours, have become common, while gas supply for cooking and heating is unreliable, forcing many families to find limited alternatives or wait for long periods. Petrol pumps are seeing long queues and higher prices. The government has introduced steps like four-day workweeks, work-from-home plans, and school closures to save fuel, but public frustration continues to grow. On X (formerly Twitter), Pakistanis are voicing loud complaints about the crisis, sharing videos of darkened streets, empty gas cylinders, and disrupted routines, with many questioning governance and basic service delivery in what they describe as a return to "stone age" conditions. Posts highlight everything from prolonged load-shedding in cities like Lahore and Karachi to sudden internet slowdowns or blackouts that hinder work and communication. The outpouring of grievances has drawn widespread trolling, with users from India mocking the situation as self-inflicted, while some Pakistanis themselves join in with sarcastic jabs at their leaders or call out the irony of prioritizing other matters over essentials. The online backlash reflects deeper public anger, as citizens demand urgent fixes even as officials point to external factors and push solar or electric alternatives for long-term relief. For now, the shortages have turned everyday life into a challenge, amplifying voices across social media in a mix of despair and dark humor. @thetrid.ent
