The minister said hectic efforts are being made to bring improvement in the gas field infrastructure.

He underlined the need to devise a strategy for more explorations to overcome the gas shortage on a permanent basis.

Commenting on the ongoing gas shortage in Sindh, he said the province is facing a gas shortfall because the Sindh government has failed to provide a route for a new gas pipeline in the province.
