LODHRAN, Aug 13 (APP):The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) UFG Control Task Force raided and disconnected fifteen more connections over violation.
The task force caught two consumers red-handed using residential meters illegally in a factory, which was causing revenue loss to the department. The two meters were disconnected.
Likewise, seven more meters were disconnected due to suspicious tampering. While one consumer’s meter was found with a tampered seal and was also disconnected.
Additionally, five consumers had their meters installed far from the service, resulting in gas leakage losses to the department, leading to their disconnection as well.
All the disconnected meters have been sent to the laboratory for further examination, and departmental action has been recommended. Moreover, extensions from seven consumers, who were found guilty of supplying gas to more than one house, were also removed.
The Task Force Incharge said that heavy fines, amounting to millions of rupees, will be imposed on consumers involved in commercial usage.
