Gas shortage on high in Karachi

Karachi: The gas supply has fallen in the last days of the week as the severity of cold is on the high.

According to the consumers, due to increased consumption in Balochistan, gas shortage has increased in different areas of Karachi and in some areas, gas becomes unavailable before 11:00 pm, while in some areas even in the afternoon.

The consumers stated that gas supply is affected in different parts of Sadar, Defence, Shah Faisal, Landhi, Allahwala Town, Gulshan, Manzoor Colony, Qayyumabad and Scheme 33 in the city.

According to the media reports, the supply is also affected due to the non-stop gas supply to the fertilizer factories this year. The supply improves at the beginning of the week as the gas is not supplied to the factories on weekend.
