He said the LNG will be “transmitted and distributed through the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) system within a few days”. He said that he is aware of the challenges being faced by industrialists and businessmen. However, he said repair and maintenance of gas fields are unavoidable and necessary, adding that the government is taking measures to ease the burden of the crisis.

Every year, we are told there is absolutely no reason to panic about the gas shortage. That the crippling squeeze freezing boilers and sending shivers in dark winter nights is just a game of numbers. However, the government’s claims–as tall as Mount Everest–of maximising gas supplies fizzled way earlier this year. It is only June and the pipeline network has badly broken down. The cement industry, fertiliser sector and CNG stations across Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are kaput till July 5. Meanwhile, the crisis in Sindh has badly intensified as non-export industrialists are putting up fists. From Karachi Chamber to key business leaders, everyone has a sob story of their own. So much for shining promises and bright days ahead!
