Pakistan has decided to keep new natural gas connections banned indefinitely, with consumers relying on existing connections and alternative fuel options.

New gas connections means fresh links to the gas network, not the connections people already have. Indefinitely means no end date is given. Existing connections remain the supply for people who already have gas. Alternative fuel options are other fuels for people who cannot get a new connection. The update does not name those fuels or say when the ban began.
