Karachi hits by Gas crisis

Bureau Report

KARACHI: Gas outages in the port city continue to halt day-to-day activities making people’s lives miserable in winters as people can hardly avail the utility supply when they need it most.
The worst form of gas load shedding would not stop testing the patience of Karachi people and some areas of the metropolis complain the utility unavailability turning into a utility crisis. Even in other parts of Sindh and Balochistan, the demand for domestic gas on the premise of cold weather has hiked so much that just Quetta now requires 250 mmcfd from previously 200 mmcfd.
