Torrential rains continue to lash Mach and Kolpur areas of Bolan district, causing flooding in the Mach Bolan River and triggering serious infrastructure damage.
According to Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) officials, the floodwaters have swept away a four-inch gas pipeline supplying gas to Mach city, forcing a complete suspension of gas supply to the area.
SSGC Manager Taha Baloch confirmed the disruption and stated that repair work cannot begin until the floodwaters recede. “It is currently impossible to determine exactly how many feet of the pipeline have been damaged,” he added, emphasizing the uncertainty of the situation.
The ongoing deluge has left residents of Mach city without gas during increasingly difficult conditions. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and are expected to begin restoration work once the river’s water level returns to safe levels.
