The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) recently discovered a significant gas theft operation in Karachi worth millions of rupees.
This discovery was made during a joint raid by SSGC’s Central Revenue Department (CRD) and Central Gas Testing Organisation (CGTO) in Gul Hasan Town, near Sabzi Mandi.
Following the investigation, it was discovered that the network had been supplying gas to over 2,500 homes by directly connecting to the service line. The SSGC team immediately disconnected all 2,500 illegal connections, effectively ending the operation.
According to SSGC estimates, gas thieves were illegally extracting 2,400,000 cubic metres of gas per year, worth an alarming Rs 75,000,000.
