SNGPL removes 27 gas meters for using compressors

December 26, 2020 (MLN): Special Task Force of Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) in its on-going operation has removed more than 27 gas meters using illegal compressors in Islamabad.

Furthermore, the task force has captured 18 theft cases and lodged six First Information Reports (FIRs) causing loss to the exchequer. Details shared by spokesman for SNGPL Shahid Akram.

“It is unfortunate that some elements are using electric devices to get increased gas pressure, depriving other consumers of gas in the peak winter season and putting people's lives at risk,” he added.

He further added that SNGPL vigilance teams and special task force are busy conducting a detailed survey of all sectors, societies and other localities, within the Islamabad region.

The domestic consumers had appreciated the operation against this illegal activity and advised the local administration to take appropriate measures for resisting the sale of illegal compressors and other devices used to increase the gas pressure, SNGPL spokesman added.

However, responding a question, he said “The company is making all-out efforts to ensure the provision of gas supply to domestic consumers with regular pressure during the peak winter season”.

In addition, the SNGPL has established a control room to resolve consumers’ complaints related to low gas pressure.

The control room is working round the clock and taking prompt action by mobilizing field teams.
