SNGPL Cracks Down on Gas Theft, Disconnects 612 Connections

Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) intensified its efforts to combat gas theft by disconnecting 612 connections in Punjab, KPK, and Islamabad. The company imposed fines totaling Rs20.3 million on consumers found guilty of illegal gas usage.

Special teams deployed by SNGPL disconnected 36 connections in Peshawar, with fines exceeding Rs1.2 million levied on offenders. In Lahore and Faisalabad, 15 gas connections were cut off, accompanied by fines amounting to Rs0.4 million. Additionally, authorities in Sahiwal and Multan disconnected 18 gas connections as part of the crackdown.

The stringent actions taken by SNGPL underscore the company's commitment to curbing gas theft and ensuring fair distribution of resources. Gas theft not only poses a safety hazard but also leads to revenue losses for the company, ultimately affecting all consumers.

By enforcing penalties and disconnecting illegal connections, SNGPL aims to send a clear message that unauthorized gas usage will not be tolerated. The company urges consumers to abide by regulations and report any suspicious activities related to gas theft to help maintain a reliable and secure gas supply for all.
