The SSGC continued to tighten the noose on gas theft miscreants through multiple targeted raids in Sindh and Balochistan.

In fresh operations conducted by the Company’s Security Services and Counter Gas Theft Operations (SS &CGTO) and Customer Relations departments’ teams, around 1,150 illegal domestic as well as commercial connections were removed in different cities and towns in the franchise areas.

In Karachi, theft control teams removed more than 1,000 illegal domestic underground and overhead connections in North Karachi, Surjani Town, Shah Faisal Colony, Bahria Town, Korangi and Malir.

In the pilferage cases, residents had illegally extended gas connections that were dismantled during the raids. Service lines were also killed by the SSGC teams to prevent any further unauthorized use.
