Islamabad: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has instructed the Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Ltd. to issue 500,000 gas connection in different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), reported a news source. The SNGPL is also told to grant approval for the new connection according to the population rate.
According to details, issuing new connections in areas where gas is already available to some will leave the areas deprived of gas ignored once again. To address the situation, the gas company is asked to include the far flung areas in its plans.
The Ogra also learnt that pressure of gas supply in KP is extremely low and to fix that, the SNGPL has short-term and long-term plans in place to lay a new network of gas supply lines.
