The gas supply in more than 16 areas of Karachi resumed on Thursday after the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited repaired a 16-inch diameter gas pipeline in the city’s Bath Island Clifton area.
The pipeline got damaged on Tuesday, causing problems for gas consumers amid the ongoing winter season where the use of natural gas spikes.
“Due to the damaged line, gas supply in Clifton, Gizri, DHA, Gizri, Punjab Colony, Delhi Colony, Old city area, Mai Kolachi, Bath Island, Sultanabad, Ziauddin Hospital, Dolmen Mall, Movenpick, Mariott and PC hotels and areas around Mai Kolachi was affected,” the SSGC said in a news update on X.
It added that the SSGC’s teams remained on site “since Tuesday to complete maintenance work for earliest resumption” to avoid further gas shortage in the affected areas.
