KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has directed Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) managing director to restore gas supply to Pakistan Steel Mills.
The CM, on phone, ordered the gas company’s MD to provide the state-owned steel mills its required gas pressure to ensure smooth operations at the industrial complex. He termed the decision to cut off gas supply from July 28 an attempt to destabilise the steel mill where around 17,000 people were working.
“Pakistan Peoples Party will not allow any individual and organisation to hatch conspiracy against the steel mill and its workforce,” he declared.
The remarks came despite the SSGC sending a notice to the steel mill management before Eid holidays, stating clearly that if outstanding bills, estimated at Rs35 billion, were not cleared after the Eid break, gas supply would be reduced gradually.
