The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has removed around 1,500 illegal gas connections in Karachi and arrested four suspects as part of a continuing crackdown on gas theft.
During operations across multiple localities, SSGC teams discovered unauthorized direct links to distribution pipelines supplying gas illegally to residential units. All illicit connections were dismantled, and the suspects face legal action under gas-theft laws.
SSGC reiterated that such anti-theft raids are ongoing; it urged citizens to report suspected illegal gas connections. The utility warned that continued theft not only endangers lives and property but also contributes to system losses and rising consumer costs.
