SNGPL to restore gas supply to CNG stations across Punjab

• SNGPL says gas will be supplied to CNG stations on Tuesday and Friday from 8 am to 8 pm.
• The spokesperson added that the gas supply schedule for next week would be announced later.

The Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Authority (SNGPL) has announced to restore gas supply to CNG stations across Punjab for two days this week.

As per SNGPL spokesperson, gas will be supplied to CNG stations on Tuesday and Friday from 8 am to 8 pm. The spokesperson added that the gas supply schedule for next week would be announced later.

Low gas pressure and a spike in domestic demand owing to the cold weather gripping parts of the country have forced the company to suspend gas supply to the CNG sector, causing many problems for people, especially commuters who largely rely on public transport for a daily commute.

Meanwhile, the CNG Dealers Association has given the federal government a week to improve the situation caused by gas shortage or else they will stage a sit-in in Islamabad.

The Sui Southern Gas Company announced to reopen CNG stations across Sindh on Sunday morning for 12 hours. Long queues of all kinds of vehicles were witnessed outside the CNG stations as they opened after a gap of 50 hours.
