Ejaz Ahmed Chaudhry, general manager Sui Northern Gas Company Limited, on Saturday said the SNGPL is working to enhance gas supply duration for industries from three days to four days a week. Chaudhry said this during a visit to the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He said the industry should be given priority in supplying gas to promote economic activities and creating jobs. However, the policy of encouraging CNG sector in the country has made it difficult for us to supply consistent gas to industries. He said stay orders by CNG stations from courts against gas load shedding were creating problems for SNGPL.He said industrial and commercial consumers were the most profitable subscribers of SNGPL. However, it was the responsibility of the government to reset its priorities for supply of gas to different categories of consumers keeping in view the supreme national interest.
