SSGCL accuses ‘front men’ of creating LPG shortages

ISLAMABAD: The Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd (SSGCL) on Thursday accused ‘front men’ of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) market operators of making complaints before the government institutions to block state-owned entities’ retail business for creating shortages and black marketing the product for personal gains. “Most of the complainants are self-proclaimed stakeholders and they themselves do not have any stakes in the LPG market yet they have invariably been involved in making false allegations against SSGCL and its subsidiary SSGC LPG Ltd (SLL),” a statement issued by SSGCL said. “Quite clearly these false allegations are being orchestrated by front-men of those individuals whose objective is to benefit from the situation to create shortages and create a black market of LPG for their personal gains,” the statement added.
