Karachi, Pakistan - The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced the winter gas supply schedule for Sindh and Balochistan, outlining three fixed slots for domestic consumers in line with federal directives. SSGC spokesperson confirmed to Dawn that the schedule begins immediately and will provide gas availability during breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours.
The new schedule prioritizes domestic consumers by ensuring gas supply during meal times. It is reported that SSGC's consumers have not been receiving round-the-clock gas service for some years.

SSGC had not issued a clear, consolidated statement until late Tuesday evening, increasing confusion among consumers.
