The Sui Southern Gas Company's (SSGC's) recovery drive against its defaulters has moved into full swing. According to a press release issued here on Thursday, from February 9 onwards, the Company's Recovery Department has entered into a new phase of disconnecting numerous connections across its franchise areas of Sindh and Balochistan.
Through advertisements and notices in the print media, the Company has been repeatedly appealing to its domestic and commercial defaulters to either pay up or face disconnections. The Company's Recovery Department has mobilised its 38 recovery teams to conduct raids in different neighbourhoods of the entire Defence area from the morning of February 9.
Official sources say that SSGC is providing gas facility to about 60,000 domestic customers of Defence Zone, out of which 16,000 customers are defaulters, who owe the Company more than Rs 56 million. These defaulters owe the Company outstanding dues in the range of Rs 200 to Rs 50,000 and above. "In the first phase, the Recovery Department is targeting 3,500 defaulters of Defence Area, who owe minimum of Rs 3,000 or more. These defaulters owe the Company more than Rs 42 million and have not paid their gas bills since the last three months, sources said.-PR
