KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), Pakistan’s gas supply company, has announced a temporary suspension of gas supply in parts of Karachi on December 14 and 15.

According to the SSGC statement, the gas outage will last for eight hours due to the relocation of a 12-inch-diameter high-pressure gas pipeline in the Peoples Chowrangi area for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

“The suspension will take place from 10:00 PM on December 14 until 6:00 AM on December 15,” the statement read.

The gas will remain suspended at Agha Khan University Hospital, Liaquat National Hospital, and Saylani Welfare Trust Kitchen.

However, gas supply to domestic consumers of the area has already been restricted due to ongoing night-time profiling measures. “Inconvenience to our esteemed customers is regretted,” the SSGC statement added.

The state-owned gas supply company stated that the pipeline relocation is essential to accommodate the ongoing infrastructure improvements related to the BRT project.
