Sui Northern Gas Limited (SNGL) has decided to snap the gas connections of textile mills owned by Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz MNA Asim Nazir in Faisalabad on charges of stealing gas.
An SNGPL official said that Maqsood Textile Mills was owned by Asim and his brother Shahid Nazir, and the mill’s management had been using gas from the commercial connection of an adjoining bakery, as commercial consumers were exempt from gas load management like domestic consumers, said a media report.
The SNGL would also hold an inquiry into the matter.
On condition of anonymity, the official said that the management of Maqsood Textile Mills had been stealing gas through a commercial connection for the last three years and Asim had used his political clout to silence SNGPL.
