LODHRAN, Aug 16 (APP):The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) UFG Control Task Force intensified its crackdown against gas pilferers and disconnected 12 meters and removed six illegal extensions across the region.
According to details, a consumer was found stealing gas by reversing the meter. The connection was severed, and departmental action has been recommended.
Six meters were disconnected due to tampering and have been sent to the lab for further examination.
Two consumers, who had not been billed for three to six months, were found to have their meters still installed on-site.
These meters were seized and sent to the lab.
Two consumers violated their sales contracts by relocating their meters on their own. Their meters were also disconnected, and further departmental action was recommended.
One consumer’s meter was found installed far from the service point, causing leakage and losses to the department. The meter was also disconnected.
Additionally, two consumers whose meters were found far from the service point had their meters relocated to the service line.
Six consumers, who violated OGRA regulations by providing gas to more than one household, had their illegal extensions removed.
The Task Force in-charge stated that those tampering with meters will no longer go unpunished and will face hefty fines.
