According to a notification, CNG stations across the province will remain open tonight and will now close tomorrow morning at 8AM.
In an earlier notification by SSGC, CNG stations were ordered to be shut down from 8pm Sunday till Tuesday.
CNG stations reopened all over the province after a week's hiatus as the government restored gas supply to the CNG sector.
Motorists took a sigh of relief on the availability of the energy source on Saturday, while public transport commuters also appreciated the move as public buses started their regular operations after ending the strike.
Federal Minister for Petroleum Ghulam Sarwar Khan earlier announced on his recent visit to Karachi that the government had decided to resume gas supply to the CNG sector, almost a week since the crisis-hit CNG stations in Karachi had left public transport in disarray.
The minister said that a gas shortfall had led to the issue, adding that he visited SSGC, the supplier of gas in Sindh and Balochistan, and Pakistan Petroleum to ascertain the reason behind the shortage.
He added that domestic and commercial consumers throughout the country are the government's top priority and they will face no load-shedding.
Industries in Sindh will also face no gas load-shedding, Sarwar added.
