Unannounced gas load-shedding hits Karachi consumers

‎Many domestic consumers of SSGC have been complaining about low gas pressure or not getting any gas at all since the beginning of winter in the city. Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah in a letter sent to PM Imran Khan has conveyed his deep concern over incessant and prolonged gas outages across Sindh, saying that gas production from Sindh is between 2,700-3,000 mmcfd while the SSGC was supplying less than 1,200 mmcfd to the province. KCCI president Junaid Makda said that the industrial fraternity of Karachi is already suffering because of high cost of doing business and suspension of gas supply would prove detrimental for the industry and worsen the economic crisis. He hoped that PM Imran Khan will ask the ministry concerned to look into this serious issue on priority basis.
