They also urged the people not to panic about the leakage of natural gas.

The team reduced gas pressure from District Regulating Stations (DRS) of the areas. With the immediate measures the situation became normal quickly.

It noted that due to closure of industries and factories during the holy Eid-ul-Fitr holyday, gas pressure of the areas increases slightly compared to normal times.

Now the pressure of the gas supply is normal and the gas supply is fully under control.
