The gas supply to the Parliament House was disconnected again on Friday after the passage of three-day deadline to pay the outstanding bills amounting to Rs 1.3 million to Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Company (SNGPL).

The company officials also took the gas meter away with them. The canteen and cafeteria of the Parliament were shut down, creating trouble for the parliamentarians, staff, journalists and others.

The SNGPL had cut the gas connection few days ago due to non-payment of the dues and later restored the supply with warning that it would be disconnected again if the bills were not paid within three days. Capital Development Authority (CDA) did not pay the bill and on the end of the deadline, the company again disconnected the gas supply to the Parliament House.
