ISLAMABAD:
The General Nanbai Association (GNA) held a protest demonstration on Monday against the tariff of re-gasified liquified natural gas (RLNG) in front of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) regional office. It also voiced concerns over issuance of utility bills thrice a month, terming the practice a violation of standard rules under which consumer pays the bill after a month. It demanded immediate withdrawal of the high tariff and urged to streamline the bills’ issuing procedure. It further intended to extend and continue the protest if the concerns were not addressed. Terming the increased tariff ‘unjustified,’ it feared that it would affect their business and put additional burden on the common man because of subsequent surge in bread price.
