The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced a temporary suspension of gas supply in Karachi, following a leakage in the Gambat GPF-4 feeder line. This sudden disruption has caused concern among residents, who rely on a steady gas supply for daily activities.
Reason for Suspension
According to an SSGC spokesperson, the gas supply had to be halted due to a significant leakage in the pipeline. This issue has resulted in a shortfall of 38 MMCFD (Million Cubic Feet per Day) in the system, affecting gas availability in Karachi and surrounding areas.
Repair Efforts Underway
Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has dispatched a team to address the problem, and repairs are already in progress. The spokesperson mentioned that the pipeline repairs are expected to be completed within the next 20 hours. During this period, some areas in Sindh and Balochistan might experience reduced gas pressure.
Impact on Residents
The temporary suspension is likely to affect households and businesses, as gas is essential for cooking, heating, and industrial activities. Residents are advised to prepare for low gas pressure and make alternative arrangements until the issue is resolved.
SSGC has assured the public that they are working diligently to restore the gas supply as soon as possible. Updates will be provided as the situation develops. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels.
