In order to improve gas pressure for domestic consumers, the provincial government has decided to impose a complete ban on operations of CNG stations till January from 1st to Jan to 31st January 2023.
In the light of Home and Tribal Affairs department directions, the district administration of Mardan and Peshawar have issued separate notifications stating that CNG stations will remain closed for a month to facilitate domestic consumers.
“To facilitate domestic consumers is the top priority of the Government; it is imperative to curtail gas supply to various sectors and request that operation of the CNG Stations may be curtailed from 1st Jan,2023 to 31st January,2023, ” it added.
In many places of the city, the residents had been facing acute shortage of gas in their houses.
Majority of the residents of Mardan and Peshawar had been relying on gas cylinders for cooking purposes as gas is not available at cooking times or its pressure is too low to cook food.
In some of the posh areas, including the Peshawar Cantonment, University Town, Shami Road, etc, there has been no gas supply during cooking times since the start of the winter season.
