- Some areas in Sindh, Balochistan will face low gas pressure.
The residents of Sindh and Balochistan will face low gas pressure due to a leakage in one of the feeder lines supplying gas to Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), the company said in a statement on Monday.
In a news alert issued by the gas transmission company, a Gambat GPF IV feeder line was found have a leakage due to which the system is experiencing a gas shortage of 38mmcfd.
The statement said that a team of Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has begun pipeline repair which is expected to be completed within 20 hours.
"Due to this reason, some areas in Sindh and Balochistan will face low gas pressure. Inconvenience is regretted," said the SSGC.
According to The News, the SSGC last week said it was implementing a gas pipeline augmentation and expansion plan in Karachi and adjoining areas to ensure enhanced gas pressures and supplies.
The SSGC recently commissioned two projects — a pipeline project from Sheedi Goth to Future Colony and a pipeline from Azeempura to Jam Sadiq Ali Bridge.
SSGC Managing Director Imran Maniar reiterated the company’s commitment towards enhanced gas supply and pressures.
