ISLAMABAD: The people have protested against the illegal use of compressor on natural gas connections and demanded stern action against the consumers who use illegal and mean which is also cause of low gas pressure.
The consumers of Sui Northern Gas Pipeline (SNGPL) Rawalpindi region said that the use of compressors on connection of Sui gas is not only illegal but also dangerous in houses. Muhammad Adeel, a resident of Satellite Town said that some people are using compressors to increase gas pressure in their houses and creating problems for their neighbours, which is not only illegal but also disturbing their supply.

When contacted an official of SNGPL, said that it is an illegal practice and we would take strict legal action against the violators.
