During Ramzan in Karachi, Pakistan, residents experienced gas outages during Sehr and Iftar despite SSGC's announcement of no load-shedding. Gas outages were reported in areas like Saddar, Surjani Town, Malir, and others. SSGC's spokesperson, Salman Ahmed, admitted to the outages and attributed them to millions of stoves operating simultaneously, reducing gas pressure. This comes as Pakistan faces a 1.35% increase in weekly inflation, pushing the annual inflation rate to 32.89%, affecting key commodities such as tomatoes, bananas, eggs, and garlic.
