Domestic consumers to get gas during meal hours: SSGC

KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) announced that domestic consumers would only get gas for a total of eight hours in a day — morning, afternoon, and evening — during “meal timing” as crisis deepens in the country.

Taking to Twitter, the utility stated that “As per the Prime Minister’s directives, SSGC is ensuring gas supply to its customers during meal hours as per the given schedule.”

After the announcement, now SSGC would gas in the morning time i.e. from 6am to 9am; then in the afternoon from 12pm to 2pm and then evening from 6pm to 9pm.

While the local media reports suggest that the gas utility’s complaint service, 1199, kept on informing domestic customers that they did not know of any scheduled or unscheduled load shedding in any part of the city, despite the SSGC assurance that almost every locality in the city would have very low pressure or no supply of gas during peak hours for the past few days.
