THE residents of Iqbal Town have once again received gas bills for April on May 17 while last date for payment was May 21.

This is a request to the gas company to dispatch bills at least a fortnight before the last date for payment for the convenience of consumers. For that matter, the management of all utility services should ensure bills are dispatched at least 15 days before due date for payment as sanctioned by the law of the land.
