He said that the city is facing acute shortage of gas. The JI aged a sit-in against this shortage outside the SSGCL headquarters in Karachi. As a result the SSGCL has notified a committee to address the problems, including overcharging and the JI welcomes the development.
He appealed the citizens to approach the JI to resolve their issue, particularly overbilling.
The JI leader strongly condemned the caretaker government and the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) over awarding the fresh 20-year contract to the K-Electric.
