KARACHI: Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Sheikh on Wednesday said that the crisis of natural gas had aggravated due to inefficiency and wrong policies of the federal government, adding that the situation would not have gone to that extent if the centre had taken timely decisions.
Addressing a hurriedly called press conference, he also vehemently criticised PM’s Special Assistant on Petroleum Nadeem Babar and Federal Information Minister Shibli Faraz for spreading ‘disinformation’ on the issue and insisted that Sindh produced around 2,500 to 2,600 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) and it was getting only 1,000 MMCFD, while it needed around 1,600 to 1,700 MMCFD.
