Pakistan: Several areas in Karachi face gas shortage

Karachi, Pakistan/IBNS: People in the Pakistani city of Karachi faced hardships on Saturday as gas supply was suspended in several parts of the city since the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) went about its load management plan.

Residents of Saddar, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Lyari, Manzoor Colony, Kharadar, Kaemari and several other areas complained that the gas pressure was extremely low, reports Geo News.

Other areas severely affected by gas load-shedding are Korangi, Bhittai Colony, Orangi, Liaquatabad, Shah Faisal Colony and different areas, the Pak media outlet reported.

Residents of the areas complained  that they are receiving gas for only two to three hours a day and that too, at an extremely low pressure.

People said they are facing the trouble of using gas cylinders which is increasing their expenses.

Geo News spoke to several women of the areas mentioned above, who said that suspension of gas supply meant they were forced to send their children to schools and colleges without breakfast.

Quetta, Peshawar, Gujranwala, Multan, Faisalabad, Mirpurkhas and other cities in Punjab are also reportedly suffering from a gas shortage, the Pakistani news channel reported.
