SSGC fails to supply gas to Karachites
On the other hand, Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) failed to fulfill its promise of the provision of gas to consumers in Karachi during Sehri, as there was no supply of gas at the time of the first Sehri of the holy month of Ramadan in the Old City area of the provincial capital, prompting the people to use LPG cylinders instead.
People flocked to the LPG cylinders shop early in the morning.
Speaking to 24NewsHD TV channel, a citizen complained that there was no supply of gas during the Sehri time. “The moment the Sehri time was over, the gas supply was restored.”
Consumers also complained about an increase in the prices of cylinders, and demanded the government to keep an eye on their prices.
They expressed pessimism that they would gas during Ramadan.
