The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has recently addressed growing concerns regarding dug-up roads and infrastructure damage in urban areas. A news report published in The Express Tribune on July 2, 2025, clarifies that SSGC is not responsible for the road excavation issues causing daily inconvenience to the public.
Key Developments from the Inter-Ministerial Meeting
According to the article, a high-level inter-ministerial meeting was held to discuss the development of the new LNG terminal.
During this meeting:
- It was decided that SSGC should transfer the required land—currently owned by Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM)—to developers of the new LNG terminal.
- SSGC emphasized that it had no role in the recent road digging, distancing itself from any allegations tied to disrupted city infrastructure.
Public Confusion and Clarification
In several urban areas, especially in Karachi, people had assumed that SSGC’s pipeline installations or repairs were the cause of damaged roads. However, this clarification sets the record straight:
“SSGC is cooperating fully in infrastructure projects but is not involved in any unauthorized or uncoordinated road digging,” an SSGC spokesperson stated.
