According to Media Manager SSGC Inayatullah Ismail, the step has been taken by the gas utility company to improve the line pack position all over Sindh, which has been badly disturbed due to curtailed gas supply from different gas fields, causing deterioration of line pack position and resulting in low pressure in SSGC’s system.
The two-day CNG loadshedding remains in place, apart from this outage.
On October 25, the apex court had declared the formula of linking compressed natural gas (CNG) price with oil prices as “illegal,” and directed OGRA to announce revised prices minus surcharges and cess as an “Eid gift.” The OGRA subsequently announced reduced prices for the fuel popular with small vehicle owners.
However, CNG stations opposed the newly announced prices and started unilaterally shutting down their fuel pumps as a sign of protest. Reacting to this, the government announced it would fine and even seal stations who shut down their stations unilaterally.

suddenly there is something wrong with the line. All after the SC decision. why do we people have to buy cng after this blackmailing by the cng owner. Please boycott cng for a month all over Pakistan and i assure you everything will come back to normal. this can happen in other countries for some over charged product why not in ours. Are we from mars or what?
Just Fed up . What to do ?
Govt and CNG stations are just making a mokery of Supreme Court decisions.
Karachi is a hub city of Pakistan, where public transprot running is very important and mostly person travel from them
Is any one how can raise the point to Government, that how people of Karachi manage CNG load shadding when "Double Sawari" On bike is not allowed.
And is there is any posiblity to shut down CNG for 24 hours except 48 Hours.
Please Think, all Karachi people,
If we can;t think about ourself, no one can thing about us.
On one hand the Government is annoucing load-shedding of CNG and on the other hand CNG Station Owners are blackmailing the end users after the Supreme Court have slashed down the per kilo price of CNG.
What an administration running the CNG show.
Millions of end users are affected but there is no one to come to their rescue. except that when CNG is opened by the Stattion Owners, the end users should go and line upo their vehicles in the long queue.
