KARACHI: Compressed natural gas (CNG) stations in the provincial capital remained closed on Saturday as gas shortage crisis in Sindh continues.

On Friday, domestic consumers also complained against low gas pressure and shortage.

The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has said it faces a shortage of 100 million square feet of gas.

“The relevant ministry should be directed to provide Sindh with gas as per Article 158 of the Constitution,” Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had said in a letter written to Prime Minister Imran Khan.
