ISLAMABAD: The Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) company has launched a crackdown on users of compressors in the twin cities. SNGPL Regional General Manager (GM) Ejaz Ahmad Chaudhry claimed that the operation has been started against those who steal and suck gas through compressors depriving others of their due share. He said that federal capital is facing a shortfall of 90 million cubic feet (CFT) gas as current 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 but also cause fatal mishaps,” he said. An SNGPL team raided different areas in Bhara Kahu and disconnected gas connections of one commercial unit and 16 domestic consumers for using illegal compressors.
