ISLAMABAD: CDA and SNGPL have agreed to fast-track replacement of old gas pipelines in G-6 and Blue Area, aiming to complete work before winter. The new network will prevent leakages, improve pressure, and ensure uninterrupted supply, with strict action against illegal connections.
Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, met with Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) General Manager Adnan Ahmed on Monday to review progress on the new gas pipeline network in the capital.
The meeting, attended by senior CDA officials, discussed ongoing replacement of deteriorated pipelines in Sector G-6 and Blue Area. It was agreed that installation work would resume without delay to ensure uninterrupted gas supply before winter.
Randhawa directed that the project be completed ahead of the cold season to prevent shortages, while ensuring consumers face no inconvenience during the replacement process. He also instructed SNGPL to provide early gas connections to the Gandhara Citizen Center in F-9 and to halt supply to illegal and unauthorized constructions.
SNGPL officials said a strategy was being implemented to improve gas pressure across the city, with all measures to be finalized before winter. Both CDA and SNGPL reaffirmed their commitment to working together for improved public services.
