Pakistan’s ongoing gas crisis has deepened, with supply disruptions affecting over 70% of the country’s regions. Reports indicate that domestic consumers, businesses, and industries are facing severe shortages due to the suspension of gas supplies.
The gas cuts, primarily affecting major urban centers and industrial zones, have caused widespread inconvenience. Households are struggling to manage cooking and heating needs, while factories and production units are being forced to reduce operations or halt entirely. The industrial sector, in particular, is reeling from halted production, threatening to impact jobs and the economy.
Officials have attributed the shortage to a combination of factors, including insufficient gas reserves, maintenance issues, and rising demand during the winter months. The government is under increasing pressure to find immediate solutions, with many demanding urgent measures to restore normal supply.
While the government has promised to resolve the crisis, no clear timeline has been provided for when supply will return to normal levels. With winter in full swing, the situation remains dire for millions across Pakistan.
