The Sindh High Court sought on Thursday replies from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) and others over the shortage and suspension of gas across the province - and particularly in Karachi.
The petitioner s counsel told the court that 68 per cent of Pakistan s gas production is extracted from Sindh, while Balochistan produces 19 per cent, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa nine per cent and Punjab four per cent.
He pointed out that as per Article 158 of the Constitution, Sindh, as the largest gas producer, should be given preference in terms of gas supply. But, he went on, it was still facing a gas shortage.
