Talking to a private news channel, Minister for Energy Hammad Azhar said:

"The provision of gas to domestic consumers during the winter season is the first priority of the government. He said the government will receive 2 extra LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) cargoes next month to fulfill the requirement of the gas in the country."

"The consumption of gas increases 3% in every winter season and the government is making all-out efforts to meet the domestic demand of gas.
