Karachi Faces Gas Shortage During Ramazan Amid LNG Shipment Suspension

Karachi is experiencing a severe gas shortage during Ramazan following the suspension of liquefied natural gas shipments from Qatar, reportedly due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The disruption has strained the city's gas distribution, leading the Sui Southern Gas Company to implement a limited supply schedule during Sehri and Iftar hours without public notification. Residents across multiple neighborhoods report weak gas pressure, making cooking difficult, while authorities have yet to offer a clear explanation for the crisis.
