People continue to suffer gas outages at sehri, iftar times

JI leader asked the government and the gas company to take notice of the issue and resolve it immediately

KARACHI:

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi Ameer Engr Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has strongly lambasted the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited over unannounced load shedding of gas to domestic consumers in various areas of the megalopolis in the holy month of Ramzan.

The JI leader, on Wednesday, said that the gas company could not follow the load shedding schedule, issued by itself and that was a big failure on part of the company. He said that the gas supply to a large number of consumers, in various areas, was suspended all of a sudden, forcing them to face immense difficulties and mental torture. He added that towering claims were made about gas supply during Sehri and Iftari times throughout the month of Ramzan but the SSGCL failed on the first day of the holy month.

He asked the government and the gas company to take notice of the issue and resolve it immediately. He said that Karachiites have already been facing massive financial hardships and unfavorable situations due to failure of governmental policies and the developing situation have further aggravated the situation.
