ISLAMABAD: Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that all out efforts are being made to improve smooth gas supply for domestic users.
Talking to a television channel, he said that the increasing production in the gas sector was a provincial subject after the 18th Amendment. However, he said that measures have been taken to provide uninterrupted gas supply to industrial as well as domestic consumers.
He said that a terminal of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was functional while the two others would start working soon. He said that 12,00,000 more connections were provided to consumers on merit basis. “There is a difference between demand and supply of gas facility,” he said.
To a question, he said that billions of rupees were being spent on transmission pipelines. Efforts were being made to ensure the smooth gas supply in the Punjab province, he said. To another question, he said that past governments did nothing for the development of gas sector as a result the people are facing problems in winter.
