KARACHI,6 June 2026 : Residents of FB Area Naseerabad Block 14 face a complete gas outage for the past week. As a result, daily life has come to a halt. Stoves remain cold, and families struggle to cook even basic meals. Consequently, children miss regular breakfasts, while households fail to prepare lunch or dinner.
Meanwhile, residents rely on restaurants and food stalls for survival. However, rising inflation makes this option unsustainable. In addition, many complain that their incomes cannot cover daily food expenses. One resident says they cannot explain to children why no food is being cooked.
Furthermore, affected citizens repeatedly contact Sui Southern Gas Company’s helpline (1199). Each time, they receive the same assurance of resolution within 24 to 48 hours. However, after a full week, no field team arrives and no restoration work begins.
As a result, frustration grows in the area. Therefore, residents urge the Federal Minister for Petroleum to take immediate notice of SSGC’s negligence. They also demand strict action against responsible officials.
In addition, they call for immediate deployment of field teams within 24 hours. They insist that gas supply must be restored without further delay. Moreover, they demand that the complaint system shift from paperwork to real action.
Finally, residents urge SSGC to improve accountability and service delivery. Consequently, they expect officials to perform duties responsibly rather than ignore public suffering.
