The Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Company (SNGPL) has launched a crackdown on users of compressors in the twin cities.
General Manager (GM) SNGPL Islamabad region Ejaz Ahmad Chaudhry claimed that operation has been started against those who steal and suck gas through compressors depriving others of their due share.
He said that Islamabad was facing a shortfall of 90 million cubic feet (CFT) gas as supply stands at 216 million CFT feet against a demand of 300 million CFT.
“Compressors and other sucking sources should not be used because such practices are dangerous and could also cause fatal mishaps,” he said.
A SNGPL team raided different areas in Bhara Kahu and disconnected gas connection of one commercial unit and 16 domestic consumers for using illegal compressors.
