Any delay in operation due to any unforeseen event may also result in depletion of pack and subsequent suspension of supply of gas to SMSs Saray Naurang, Bannu, Lakki City, Lucky Cement, Tank, D I Khan and Bhakkar at downstream of Kurram valve assemblies. After repair activity, the restoration of gas supply to the affected areas will be carried out accordingly.
