CNG stations across the province remained closed on Monday.
CNG stations in the metropolis and rest of the province reopened on Saturday night following a week-long hiatus. However, a gas station closure scheduled was issued by the authorities after which the stations shut down again on Monday at 8 am. According to details, the schedule for CNG stations opening was revised again, under which the gas pumps were closed in the morning today for next 24 hours.
Federal Minister for Petroleum Ghulam Sarwar Khan had announced that gas supply had been restored to the CNG sector in Sindh on Saturday. He told the media that he met all the relevant stakeholders and reached an agreement with the CNG Association. He further said that the federal government was trying its best to ensure that the province’s industrial sector did not go through gas load shedding.
It is pertinent to note here that the people of the province continued to suffer owing to closure of CNG pumps for the sixth day on Saturday as SSGC suspended gas supply to CNG stations and power plants of all general industries for an “indefinite period of time.” The company stated that it was facing gas shortage and low pressure in the system.
