KARACHI: (HRNW) Sindh Information Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Friday blamed the federal government for gas shortage in the province that, he said, makes up for 68 per cents of the country’s total gas production.
He said Sindh contributes 2,200 mmcfd gas but gets 9,00 to 1,000 mmcfd as against its demand of 1,700 mmcfd, causing a huge shortfall. There is a gas crisis in the province due to the federal government’s failure to meet its demand, he added.
Shah accused the Centre of deliberately denying the province its due share in the gas distribution.
“Sindh does not need costly LNG but natural gas that it produces,” the information minister said, maintaining that the federal government parks the buck for its failures at the Sindh government’s door. “Energy Minister Omar Ayub is responsible for the gas crisis,” he added.
