24/7 gas supply to masses not possible, says Pakistan minister

Pakistan’s Minister of State for Petroleum Musadik Malik said that they cannot give a 24×7 gas supply to the masses, according to The News International.
Pakistan is highly dependent on natural gas for energy and with the rising demand and insufficient supply, load-shedding in the country has become a daily occurrence. the situation worsened during Ramazan as the masses need gas for cooking and other reason, especially during sehri and iftar timings. While talking with journalists in Karachi, the minister said that the gas load-shedding would end during sehri and iftar. “We cannot provide gas 24 hours as our reserves have dropped,” he added.
The issue of gas load-shedding in Karachi caught Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s attention recently, and he directed relevant officials to ensure an uninterrupted supply of the commodity.
