KARACHI: Intensifying its operation, the Security Services and Control Gas Theft Operations (SS and CGTO) teams conducted raids in various parts of Karachi and Quetta, and arrested an accused, who was stealing gas directly from the utility’s supply line.
The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) tightened the rope against gas thieves by cutting down various illegal connections in Karachi. The teams disconnected the illegal direct supply of gas and saved millions of rupees.

Meanwhile, in Quetta, the CGTO team raided a bakery near Airport Road, where the owner of the bakery was stealing gas from the direct line. The accused, however, fled the scene before the raid.
All equipment being used for stealing gas, including a generator and pipes, was seized. An FIR has been registered. Claims will be raised against the culprits in accordance with the load consumed by the miscreants.
