As a common man, I would like the prices of my consumption as low as possible. However, we still have the cheapest petrol in the sub-continent. Same is the case with electricity prices. As long as we do not pay prices in line with those prevailing in the sub-continent, we will never be able to have the resources to solve our energy crisis. At the same time, we can make some contribution by preventing electricity & gas thefts. The problem is that thieves do not stop their act and those around them who do not indulge in it, do not help stopping them. We must remember, leaving everything to the government will never do the job. It is common man's responsibility.
