KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced that all industries including their power generation units and all CNG stations in Sindh (including those being operated on RLNG) will remain closed for 48 hours from Saturday morning.

Due to the shortages of gas supplies in SSGC’s system, the availability of gas has decreased, resulting in the depletion of line pack, causing low pressures in the system, SSGC said.
