SUKKUR, Nov 6: More than 100 people of Mughal Colony, Ahmed Nagar and New Pind localities, including women and children, staged a demonstration in front of the local press club in protest against the low pressure of gas supplied to their houses.

The protesters led by Haji Mohammad Ashfaq, Mohammad Altaf and Ms Sakina shouted slogans against the SSGC officials and complained to reporters that they had been receiving low pressure of gas for years and informed the high officials of SSGC time and again but no body was ready to take their problem seriously.

They said that a three by four inch line had been sanctioned for the area four years ago but the SSGC had done nothing so far to lay it.

They demanded that the federal minister and high-ups of SSGC take notice the gas officials’ high handedness and rid them of low pressure of gas.
