| On whose direction | Per the ad: on the special instruction of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) |
| Advertisement | Public notice, PID(K) 1548-D/26, Express Karachi, 8 Nov 2026 |

| Who gets the timings | Domestic consumers (household users), “for cooking” |
| Slogan | “Be wise in using gas: it is everyone’s responsibility” |
The Three Cooking-Time Windows Printed in the Ad
The ad says that despite the crisis, domestic consumers will get gas at the fixed cooking times below.
| Meal time | Gas supply window (as printed) |
| Morning (breakfast) | 6:30 am to 9:00 am (ad: “subah 6:30 se 9 baje”) |
| Afternoon (lunch) | 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm (ad: “dopahar 12 se 2:30 baje”) |

Our reading: that is 8 hours in total (2.5 + 2.5 + 3) in which the ad promises gas. Outside these windows the ad promises nothing.
Heads-up: the ad prints one set of timings and does not say which cities or areas each company will apply them in. Check your local company page or helpline for your area.
What the Government Says It Is Doing: in Plain Words
Under the headline “Immediate steps for gas supply”, the ad lists three measures:
- LNG import (“LNG ki dar-amad”): bringing in liquefied natural gas from abroad.
- Additional gas added to the system (“izafi gas system mein shamil”).
- Improvement in the gas transmission and distribution system (“gas ke tarseeli nizam mein behtari”): better pipelines and delivery.
The ad is a public notice. It does not give quantities, cargo numbers or dates for any of these measures.

Tips to Save Gas at Home (General Advice)
These are common-sense tips from us, not from the ad:
- Plan cooking so that you finish the main meal inside the window.
- Use a lid and keep the flame just under the pot’s base.
- Soak lentils and beans in advance to shorten cooking time.
- Use a pressure cooker for meat and pulses.
- Keep burners clean so the flame stays blue and even.
- Turn off the burner and the geyser pilot when not needed.
Safety: never use a gas heater in a closed room, and switch off knobs after cooking. Gas returns without warning after a shut-off, so do not leave a burner knob open.
Karna / Nahi Karna
| Karna (Do) | Nahi Karna (Don’t) |
| Cook inside the three printed windows | Don’t leave knobs open waiting for gas to return |
| Follow the slogan: use gas wisely | Don’t use gas for room heating: it wastes supply |
| Check official sites for your area: sngpl.com.pk or ssgc.com.pk | Don’t trust forwarded WhatsApp “schedules” that cite no official source |
| Keep a backup (LPG cylinder, electric appliance) with proper safety | Don’t store LPG cylinders near heat or in a closed room |
