Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) will suspend gas supply to several areas of Islamabad on Monday night, October 19, to carry out work on its main pipelines.
Supply will be cut from 9 PM in most of the affected areas and from 10 PM in Blue Area, and will be restored at 6 AM on Tuesday, October 20.
The company shared the schedule in two gas shutdown alerts on its official X account.
Faizabad to Khanna Pul Areas
According to SNGPL, the first suspension is needed for a hook-up on the main pipeline between Faizabad and Khanna Pul. Gas supply will remain off from 9 PM on Monday until 6 AM on Tuesday in the following areas:
- Ghouri Town to Faizabad service road (east)
- Lehtrar Road (Khanna Pul to Burma Town)
- Sohan
- Ghouri Town
- Gulberg Town
- Shakrial
- Rehman Garden
- Burma Town
- Garden Town and adjoining areas
Blue Area and G-7
The second suspension is due to the disconnection of a main pipeline in Blue Area. Gas supply to Sector G-7, Blue Area and adjoining areas will remain off from 10 PM on Monday until 6 AM on Tuesday.
Consumers Asked to Turn Off Gas Appliances
SNGPL has advised consumers in these areas to make alternative arrangements during the suspension. The company also asked them to keep all gas appliances turned off while supply is suspended to avoid any accident.
The announcement comes a day after SNGPL announced a gas suspension in several Rawalpindi areas. Earlier this month, the federal government also launched its winter gas management plan.
