LAHORE:


Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has cut off gas supply to four industrial and five commercial units for their failure to clear unpaid bills amounting to Rs37.6 million.

I bet they had some very cordial relationship with those who ruled the country, it is time that those who use the resources of the State should pay for it . One has to look into their residences , most likely they are living high class life with very expensive houses and cars for the whole family This is the curse on the country where the elite class flaunt their wealth on the backs of common people and when it come to pay their fair share of taxes, they just don't believe in paying taxes and to them taxes are suppose to be paid by the salaried people and the average Pakistani but not them.SNGPL should put a lien on their properties through court , that will wake them up and pay up their bills.
