The gas crisis in Sindh province intensified as the compressed natural gas (CNG) stations remained closed on Saturday, the third consecutive day. The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) said that there is a shortage of 100 million square feet of gas. The domestic consumers complained regarding extremely low gas pressure a day earlier as the shortage became acute.

Chief Minister Sindh, Murad Ali Shah has written a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan as the gas crisis has worsened. In his letter to PM, Murad Ali noted that the suspension of gas supply was creating difficulties for domestic and commercial consumers. "The relevant ministry should be directed to provide Sindh with gas as per Article 158 of the Constitution," Shah wrote to the premier.
