KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly on Friday echoed with strong criticism of the federal government over the acute shortage of gas in the province which was getting about 900 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) against its requirement of 1,700mmcfd.
Replying to a calling-attention notice moved by Nand Kumar Goklani of Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) in the house, Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Shaikh said that the province produced 64 per cent of total gas in the country and its people had the first right on it under the Constitution.
