The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced a 24-hour gas load-shedding event scheduled for tomorrow in various areas of Karachi. This temporary disruption is due to the connection of a new 31-kilometer gas pipeline to the system, aimed at addressing ongoing gas supply issues in the city.

- Surjani Town

Officials indicate that this outage is part of the company’s efforts to resolve long-standing low gas pressure issues in Karachi.
