The updated schedule is designed to help consumers effectively plan their cooking and daily activities.
Residents of Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and surrounding areas are currently experiencing gas load-shedding. SNGPL officials stated that after Ramadan, gas will only be available during designated mealtimes.
The revised gas supply schedule permits consumers to access gas during three designated periods: 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
To ensure an uninterrupted full-pressure supply, this new plan has been introduced to assist customers. It will take effect after Eid ul fitr.
The time slots are detailed as follows: 6 AM to 9 AM for preparing breakfast and heating; 12 PM to 2 PM for midday cooking; and from 6 PM to 9 PM for dinner.
SNGPL representatives stated that the company adjusted the gas hours in compliance with government directives. They assured consumers that gas would be supplied at full pressure during these designated times in all locations.
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) serves over 7.22 million customers in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and various other regions of Pakistan.
