BANNU: The District Administration of Bannu KP has banned carrying gas plastic bags to avoid any misadventure.
As per the notification, the deputy commissioner office imposed a ban on carrying plastic bags filled with natural gas under Section 144.
The DC office said that plastic bags filled with gas are walking bombs, and police should arrest people violating the law.
The natural gas is put into the bags through a small valve inserted into the mouth of the bags to prevent leakage.
The Bannu district in the KP province is known for its rich resources of natural gas and oil, but the government has yet to develop any proper infrastructure system to supply gas to local residents and surrounding areas.

Local residents have developed ad hoc methods such as extracting gas from a main supply line with a hose instead of proper drilling and then filling plastic bags like helium balloons to transport them from the field for use in home cooking.
