KARACHI – Petroleum Secretary Imtiaz H Kazi on Thursday assured that load shedding for compressed natural gas (CNG) will end by the next month.
He said this while talking to a delegation led by CNG Station Owners Association Chairman Malik Khuda Baksh, which had called on Kazi and Gas Director General Mohammad Azam for discussing the problems being faced by CNG retailers and consumers due to the ongoing gas load shedding.
