The SNGPL restored gas supply to the textile mills in Faisalabad zone on Wednesday. Resultantly, the textile mills in Faisalabad kept their boilers on besides generating electricity through Captive Power Plants to utilise their capacities. In the next stage, gas supply would be restored to Sheikhupura zone after Faisalabad zones.
It may be noted that the Federal Petroleum Ministry has agreed with the APTMA leadership for restoration of gas supply on rotational basis to Lahore, Faisalabad and Sheikhupura zones respectively. Under this arrangement, the textile mills in each zone would be supplied with gas for twice a week. There would be no gas supply to any zone on the seventh day during the week.
