Eight hours of gas supply this season too: Caretaker Federal Minister of Energy

The Caretaker Federal Minister of Energy, Muhammad Ali, has said that gas load-shedding will continue this year, similar to last year when gas was supplied for eight hours a day.

This year, natural gas has reduced by 30 per cent whereas the demand is high and supply is low.

In a statement, he highlighted that two LNG cargoes have been purchased to meet the shortage of gas in winter.

Additionally, he pointed out that Rs16 billion have been recovered from power thieves so far.
