Karachi residents and businesses should prepare for a major gas supply interruption on Sunday, June 23. The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced a complete suspension of gas supply in several parts of Karachi for 12 hours, from 8 am to 8 pm. This disruption is due to the installation of a new 20-inch diameter gas distribution pipeline, stretching 9 kilometers from Azeempura to Jam Sadiq Bridge.
Areas Affected by the Gas Suspension
The following areas will experience a complete suspension of gas supply on June 23:
- Korangi: All sectors, including industrial and domestic areas

Reason for the Suspension
The SSGC is conducting a crucial project to enhance the gas distribution network by connecting a newly laid pipeline. The “hook-up” of this 20-inch diameter pipeline will be executed at two key points along its 9-kilometer stretch from Azeempura to Jam Sadiq Bridge. This essential work aims to improve the overall gas supply infrastructure, ensuring better service in the future.
Impact and Recommendations
Residents and businesses in the affected areas are advised to make necessary arrangements to cope with the gas suspension. This includes planning for alternative cooking methods, adjusting schedules for industrial activities, and ensuring that any essential tasks requiring gas are completed before the suspension period begins.
