News regarding refreshment expenditures baseless: OGRA  

ISLAMABAD: Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has rejected news published in a section of the print media regarding its refreshment expenditures.

In a statement issued by OGRA today, said the PAC in its meeting had discussed the spending of “Rs. 110 million by Sui Gas [Companies] with regard to refreshments and club memberships, which was wrongly attributed to OGRA in a newspaper”.

OGRA further clarified that there was no facility of club membership in the authority nor it was allowed.

“In OGRA offices, tea is served to distinguished guests and licensees visiting there within the limits of austerity. Therefore, the published news is fabricated and baseless, which is strongly rebutted,” it added.
