SSGC Announcement
However, the SSGC declared this week that it will be cutting off gas to a portion of Karachi.
The company issued a statement announcing that on Sunday, December 24, it will be working on developing the gas distribution infrastructure. As a result, gas supplies would be interrupted in certain areas.
The business clarified that the supply will cut off in Korangi’s residential and commercial districts from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. in order to complete this “indispensable” operation.
Supply will also be shut off in some portions of the Defence Housing Authority, a wealthy neighborhood in the busy city, for about 13 hours at the same time.
