Gas supply to several areas of Quetta has been temporarily suspended after a sudden fault developed in a 16-inch diameter valve, Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) announced on Monday.

The company said a “technical issue” had caused a temporary disruption in gas supplies to several areas of the city. The technical teams were deployed immediately to access and conduct emergency repair works from highest priority to restore the gas supply as soon as possible, SSGC said.

The utility company has said people should plan ahead for their daily gas needs in affected areas, but until repairs are finished.

SSGC expressed hope that in case maintenance work is successfully completed without any technical issues, supply of gas will be restored in Quetta by 6:00 PM today.

Some of the areas under temporary gas cut are Bakar Mandi, Bhoosa Mandi, Link Badini, Sariab Road, Qambrani Road, Kirani Road, Tarkha, Satellite Town, Gol Mandi, Mali Bagh, Mission Hospital and Akram Hospital.
