KARACHI: SSGC’s Counter Gas Theft Team conducted a raid on a Plastic works factory located in Karachi’s Liaquatabad area in the night of September 13, 2017.

The SSGC’s recently formed Security Services and Counter Gas Theft Control Department team, along with law enforcement agencies including the SSGC-dedicated police force discovered that the culprits were using gas illegally to run their facility by means of fake meters. Through this illegal connection, the culprits were consuming 300 cubic feet per hour of gas. FIR has been lodged against Qaiser Abbas, the factory owner.

The SSGC has expressed its determination to uproot the menace of gas theft, one of the major reasons behind the rising trend of Unaccounted-for-Gas (UFG) or line losses. —PR
