The supply of gas to all the Captive Power Plant (CPP) for export industries was cut off last Friday until an order was issued due to the growing winter, the statement said.

Reduced gas volumes from suspension to CPP of non-export units and the CNG sector will be transferred to domestic customers so that they can supply their improved gas from the winter season, the SSGC said.
"It may be noted that in Balochistan, additional gas supply is needed to sustain human life as gas acts as a way of life for many people who have to keep themselves warm with water and heating systems at very low temperatures," the statement said.
