SSGC’s Customer Relations Department (CRD) cracked down on domestic gas customers in Sector 17-C, Shah Latif Town, Karachi, who were stealing gas through rubber pipes. A total of 6,720 cubic meters of gas per year were being stolen through 7 domestic connections. The team dismantled the illegal connections, and claims are being raised.

In Larkana, Jacobabad, and Shikarpur, SSGC’s anti-gas theft raiding teams dismantled more than 15 illegal underground and overhead domestic connections. During the operations, rubber pipes and clamps used in theft were removed. Theft claims will soon be raised.
