Agri Forum Pakistan (AFP) Chairman Dr Ibrahim Mughal has urged the government to take serious steps for eradication of menace of gas pilferage besides discovering new gas wells and construction of new dams. “It is utmost necessary to end the gas and electricity loadshedding in the national interest,” Mughal said while talking to media persons here on Wednesday.
He claimed if a crackdown is launched against the mafia of gas pilferers then the government would find that a large number of officers and officials of gas companies were involved in it. The government would also unearth that some people sitting in the assemblies were behind this gas pilferage which was costing millions of rupees per day to the national exchequer while honest bill payers were not getting gas or electricity at time.
