Karachi residents faced gas supply disruptions on Eid al-Adha, contradicting SSGC’s assurances of uninterrupted supply from June 16 to 20. The claims proved baseless as gas was shut off in various areas, including North Karachi, Nazimabad, Korangi, and Landhi. Malir, Gulbahar, Golimar, Patel Para, Liaquatabad, and Gulshan-e-Maymar also experienced suspended supply.
Commercial users, hotels, and restaurants were affected, impacting businesses. Despite SSGC’s announcement to end load shedding and resume gas supply from midnight on June 16, the utility company failed to deliver on its promise. The gas supply disruption has left residents and businesses in Karachi feeling frustrated and let down.
This incident highlights the need for reliable and consistent gas supply infrastructure in Karachi, especially during important holidays like Eid al-Adha. As the city’s population continues to grow, it’s essential to address these issues to ensure a smoother and more comfortable living experience for its residents.
