Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik, speaking at a joint press conference with Power Minister Awais Leghari, said gas will be supplied at “maximum pressure” from 3 am to 10:30 pm throughout Ramazan.

He added that an “additional volume” of gas has been arranged to avoid shortages and ensure convenience for consumers.

To closely monitor the situation, “situation rooms” have been set up at the head offices of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company. Regional offices have also been directed to monitor supply, especially in tail-end areas.

The minister assured that all complaints will be handled according to OGRA regulations and resolved quickly. He said both the Power and Petroleum Divisions are working to provide maximum relief during the fasting month.

Power Minister Awais Leghari said there will be no loadshedding during Sehr and Iftar hours anywhere in the country. He said the decision was taken on the special instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Leghari added that even in high-loss or technically sensitive areas, electricity will not be cut during these key hours. If any major fault occurs, immediate steps will be taken to restore the supply.

A special control room has also been established to monitor electricity feeders nationwide. Consumers facing issues can call helpline 118 for quick assistance.
