PESHAWAR: Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) general manager Saqib Arbab was transferred and posted as GM coordination in Islamabad after serving for the longest tenure in Peshawar.

Saqib Arbab was posted as GM in Peshawar in July 2013 after he was transferred from the head office in Lahore.

Known as an honest and competent officer, his region clinched first position for a few years after he managed to reduce the losses by 10 per cent and overcome the issue of low pressure. He also went after the corrupt elements and took steps to curb gas theft.

A notification issued from the office of SNGPL managing director said that regional manager, Mardan, Taj Ali Khan would be heading the Peshawar office as GM while Saqib Arbab would be posted as GM coordination in Islamabad to look after the affairs of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and coordinate with the parliamentarians.
