Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has announced a temporary interruption in gas supply to several areas of Sheikhupura district in Punjab on Thursday, October 1, 2026.

According to the gas utility, the supply suspension will continue for nine hours, from 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM. The interruption has been planned to facilitate maintenance work on the main gas pipeline.

SNGPL shared details of the scheduled suspension through an official update on social media, informing consumers in the affected areas about the temporary disruption.

The company said the work involves tie-in activity on the main pipeline. Such work can require a temporary shutdown of gas supplies to ensure that the necessary technical operations can be carried out safely.

Residents in the affected localities have been advised to take the scheduled interruption into account and make appropriate arrangements before the supply is suspended.

The areas listed in the SNGPL notification include Balarkay, Hoyekay, Bhadman, Amba and Kalyan. Several other localities in and around the affected network will also experience the temporary gas outage.

Dera Gujran, Clippy Dogran, 4 Chak Rasala and Chak No. 5 are among the other areas included in the scheduled suspension.

Bhathal and adjoining localities have also been identified as areas where consumers may experience an interruption in gas availability during the announced maintenance period.

The suspension is scheduled to begin in the morning and continue through the afternoon, with gas supply expected to remain unavailable until 6:00 PM according to the announced timetable.

Temporary gas interruptions are sometimes required when utility companies carry out pipeline connections, maintenance, repairs or other infrastructure-related activities. Shutting down the relevant section of a network can allow technical teams to complete work on the system.

For households and businesses in the affected parts of Sheikhupura, the announcement provides an opportunity to plan around the nine-hour interruption.

Consumers who rely on gas for cooking and other daily activities may wish to make necessary arrangements before 9:00 AM on October 1.

The affected areas should also remain attentive to any further updates issued by SNGPL regarding the restoration of supply or changes to the announced schedule.

The company’s notification specifically identifies the areas covered by the temporary suspension, meaning consumers in adjoining locations should also monitor official SNGPL updates if their gas supply is affected.

The scheduled interruption is part of pipeline-related work and is expected to be temporary. Consumers can follow SNGPL’s official communication channels for updates concerning the gas supply situation.

For residents of Sheikhupura, the key details are the affected localities, the nine-hour duration and the scheduled timing from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
