The Unfulfilled Promise: Lack of Sui Gas Pipeline in Bahria Enclave Islamabad

When Bahria Enclave Islamabad launched with promises of modern amenities and a luxurious lifestyle, residents were assured of an infrastructure that rivaled the best housing societies in the country. Among these promises was the installation of a Sui Gas pipeline — a basic utility essential for daily life. However, years later, residents are left wondering: where is the promised gas supply?

Fees Paid, but No Sui Gas in Sight

Residents of Bahria Enclave Islamabad have been charged hefty fees under the pretext of funding the Sui Gas pipeline project. These charges were collected during the property purchase phase and have since been included in various development fees. However, despite paying significant amounts, there has been no progress on the ground toward the installation of a gas pipeline.

Bahria Town’s management has failed to provision funds for this crucial project, leaving residents to rely on expensive alternatives like LPG cylinders and electric appliances, which are neither cost-effective nor convenient.

Broken Promises, Rising Frustration

The situation is frustrating for homeowners who were drawn to Bahria Enclave by the promise of a modern, fully facilitated living experience. While residents in other Bahria Town projects across Pakistan enjoy piped Sui Gas, Bahria Enclave continues to lag behind in providing this essential utility.

To date:

• No tangible steps have been taken to install the pipeline.
• No official timeline has been provided for when Sui Gas might be available.
• Bahria Town management has failed to allocate funds, despite collecting fees specifically for this purpose.

The Cost of Inaction

The lack of a gas pipeline has placed an undue financial burden on residents. Families spend thousands of rupees each month on alternatives like:

• LPG cylinders, which are cumbersome and pose safety risks.
• Electric heaters and stoves, leading to soaring electricity bills.

Moreover, the absence of piped gas has significantly diminished the quality of life in Bahria Enclave, making the society fall short of the expectations set during its launch.

The Residents Demand Action

Bahria Enclave’s residents have every right to question the management and demand answers. Why has no progress been made on the Sui Gas pipeline? Where are the funds collected for this purpose? And more importantly, when can they expect this utility to be available?

It’s time for the Bahria Enclave Owners and Management to:

1. Allocate Funds Immediately: Use the collected fees to initiate the installation of the Sui Gas pipeline.
2. Provide a Concrete Timeline: Share a clear plan and deadlines for when the gas supply line will be operational.
3. Take Accountability: Address the grievances of residents and ensure transparency in their dealings.

A Call to Action for Bahria Enclave Residents

Residents must come together and make their voices heard. A united demand for the promised gas pipeline is the only way to ensure accountability from Bahria Town’s management. Social media campaigns, meetings with the management, and legal action, if necessary, should be considered to resolve this long-standing issue.

Conclusion: It’s Time for Bahria Town to Deliver

Bahria Enclave Islamabad was envisioned as a beacon of modern living, but the lack of a Sui Gas pipeline has cast a shadow on its reputation. It is high time for Bahria Town to honor its commitment to the residents who invested their hard-earned money in this society.

The residents of Bahria Enclave deserve better. They deserve piped Sui Gas, as promised. Let’s urge Bahria Town management to take responsibility and deliver on this essential utility without further delay. It’s time to turn promises into reality.
