KARACHI: (HRNW) Filling stations of the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) have been reopened across Sindh after two and a half months.
The CNG stations had been shut down on December 1. CNG supply would continue to RLNG stations as well, said a statement issued by the government.
On November 29, the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) had announced to suspend gas supply to CNG filling stations for two and a half months in winter to meet the additional demand of domestic consumers.
The government had decided to suspend the supply of gas to all CNG stations across Sindh and Balochistan from December 1, 2021, to February 15, 2022.
Nevertheless, supply of gas to all the industries, including zero-rated export industries, captive power plants and fertiliser sector would continue, a spokesperson of the SSGC had said.
The SSGC spokesperson had said the decision was taken to overcome the gap of demand and supply and to fulfill the requirement of domestic consumers.
He had said it was imperative to provide additional gas in Balochistan for the protection of human lives as gas worked as a lifeline for them. They had dire need of using different instruments of gas in low temperatures to keep themselves warm, he had maintained.
