Sir: SNGPL and SSGC are the two companies managing the supply of Sui gas to Pakistani consumers. These two companies have been talking about their losses to the media for many months now, with the hope of justifying the increase in gas prices for Pakistani consumers. The two companies have said that they are on the brink of bankruptcy, as they have higher costs and lower income, to justify an increase in gas prices. Although the two companies have blamed the low rate of gas and gas pilferage for their downfall, I am surprised that not one officer of these two companies has highlighted their own incompetence and mismanagement for these losses.
