Qatar LNG production suspension leads to power crisis in Pakistan

Summary

Pakistan faces a power crisis due to QatarEnergy suspending LNG production after Iranian strikes on its infrastructure. The country has implemented daily load-shedding for two to three hours, with power shortfalls reaching 4,500 MW. As a result, industries are shutting down at night, and households are resorting to illegal gas pumping.
