QUETTA: Gas supply from Balochistan’s district of Jaffarabad to Karachi and other parts of Sindh was restored after the pipeline was repaired in village Khuda Bakhsh Jakhrani on Monday.

The 18-inch diameter pipeline was blown up by a remote-controlled device, causing suspension of supply to some parts of Karachi and interior of Sindh.
