KARACHI: The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) suspended gas supply to CNG stations and captive power plants of all general industries.

The SSGC stated that they are facing low pressure of gas due to the technical fault at some of their gas fields.

Meanwhile, a decline in temperature in Quetta has increased the gas demand in the city. However, it is also affecting the natural gas supply. On the other side, to ensure the uninterrupted gas supply to commercial and domestic customers, SSGC is also ceasing gas supply to captive power plants and CNG sector till the further notice.

SSGC said that the industry will not suffer from the decision and will receive the normal gas supply.

Imtiaz Shaikh, Sindh Minister for Energy said that the decision to cease the gas supply to power plants by federal government will create industry crisis and unemployment.
