As the cold weather grips Lahore, complaints regarding gas outages and low pressure have escalated, especially in densely populated and remote areas. Residents have voiced their frustration over unannounced gas shutdowns, which have caused significant inconvenience.
Rashid Inayat, General Manager of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) Lahore Region, addressed the concerns, stating that the gas supply this year has been much better compared to the previous year. He noted that 90% of areas have not reported any gas outages, with only 10% of cases linked to maintenance work and the use of compressors.
