KARACHI: At the outset of the winter season in the metropolitan city, citizens have been witnessing unannounced gas outages in all major areas.
The beginning of the winter season brought suffering for the Karachiites as many areas in the city have been facing low or no supply of gas during peak hours.
In the areas of Landhi, Sarjani, North Karachi, Manghopir, Site, Baldia and Orangi, the citizens are worried due to very low gas pressure and have been forced to use gas cylinders.
Notably, it was predicted that the people in Pakistan may face severe gas load shedding this winter due to the gas crisis in the country.
It has been feared that the crisis will intensify in the coming days and the shortage is likely to reach its peak.
Given this crisis, gas will be made available to consumers only three times a day, because the domestic production of gas is currently three and a half billion cubic feet.
Sources also said that the gas requirement across the country is 8 billion cubic feet but only 900 MMcfd is being provided to domestic consumers.
