In contrast, several cities encountered severe gas shortages during the first Sehri of Ramadan 2025, leaving many residents struggling to prepare their pre-dawn meals.
According to ARY News, gas distribution companies had promised uninterrupted supply during Sehri and Iftar.
However, on the first day of Ramadan, multiple areas, including Karachi and Rawalpindi, reported a complete lack of gas supply.
In Karachi, affected localities included Rifah Aam Society, Malir, Nazimabad, Gulbahar, and Ranchore Line.
Similarly, in Rawalpindi, residents of Sixth Road, Satellite Town, Dhoke Kashmirian, Dhoke Pracha, Service Road, Dhoke Kala Khan, Khurram Colony, and Sadiqabad faced disruptions.
The unexpected gas shortage forced many households to seek alternatives, with residents relying on restaurants and roadside vendors for their Sehri meals.
In some areas, people had no choice but to begin fasting without a proper pre-dawn meal.
The crisis on the first day of Ramadan has sparked growing concerns over gas supply reliability throughout the holy month.
Both Sui Northern Gas Company and Sui Southern Gas Company have been criticized for failing to meet their commitment to providing an uninterrupted gas supply, raising uncertainty among consumers.
