GM Sales
Dear Sir,
Mr. Chief Justice, I have writing with grief and sorrow, SNGPL Corruption story very long and old. Unfortunately previous governments did not take any action against these corrupt officials nor does the present government have keep intended, to take action against these corrupt officials. There are reasons that the people of Pakistan are lost their confidence on this institution. These officials are involved in serious crimes such as gas theft, bribery in the past, Instead of punishing corrupt officials are being awarded to promote next higher rank. These are completely injustice with those officials who are honest sincere with this institution. In these corrupt officials also included one of the chief sales officer Mr. Shahid maqsud, who were recently promoted as GM Sales?
These alleged corrupt officials were identified during a campaign launched by the Punjab government after constituting a task force (TF) headed by Secretary industries, commerce and investment against electricity and gas theft since June 2013. In this exercise, amount of gas theft of Rs5.045 billion was detected. Among the big names are former MD Rashid Lone, former SGM Pervaiz Aziz, SGM Imdad Hussain Khan, Ismael Paracha, Chaudhary Maqsud, Qadir Awan, GMs including Najeeb Ghazi, Azam Khan Wazir, Bilal Touseef, Nasir Quershi (who has fled the country), Muhammad Azam, Shahid Maqsud and Shahid Aziz. (Authentic report is attached).
It is my right to the status of being a Pakistani I appeal to Chief Justice Supreme Court of Pakistan to prevent further destruction to the SNGPL institution and immediately cancelled Mr. Shahid Maqsud promotion as GM Sales and ordered to conduct strictly an inquiry against Mr. Shahid Maqsud. Because there are serious allegations against them which causes the SNGPL Company dignity has been badly destroyed, he no more righteous and true. That man was establish relations with the superior’s authority in the organization and take the benefit to promote himself into next higher rank as GM Sales.
In addition, SNGPL Gulberg Lahore office is not less than corruption I have given the thousand of evidence in written to SNGPL management which is often laid fake gas lines and provided gas connections on wrong addresses have become routine.
It also explains that Sui Northern Company management has always submitted baseless and false reports about me that Haider Ali habitual complainant and black mailing to SNGPL officials. Despite I was provided concrete evidence with each application. I also explain that SNGPL management some thick corrupt officials are want to notoriously me. I therefore requested that to the Senior GM sales to be asked to provide CC&B record for urgent fee connections and CC&B (2012-2013) record for normal connections and there are no two opinions that all corruption will be exposed like crystal.

LAHORE:
As many as 121 mid to high-ranking officials of the Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) are allegedly involved in a corruption scandal worth billions of rupees, but are still working on lucrative positions without fear of accountability and action over wrongdoings, abuse of authority and corruption, The Express Tribune has learnt.
According to a document available, the officials include one former managing director, five senior general managers (SGM), seven general managers, one company secretary, six sales officers, one executive engineer, eight associate engineers, 42 superintendents, 12 sub engineers, eight assistants, 11 meter readers/inspectors, three foremen and 16 other technical staff. These officials were suspected to be involved in patronizing gas theft, bribery, being owners of CNG stations, factories, meter tampering, selling of company material and taking monthly stipends from illegal gas users.
These alleged corrupt officials were identified during a campaign launched by the Punjab government after constituting a task force (TF) headed by Secretary industries, commerce and investment against electricity and gas theft since June 2013. In this exercise, theft of Rs5.045 billion gas in SNGPL infrastructure was detected.

The TF constituted district committees, which conducted 5,480 raids in 33 districts and detected 1175 cases of gas pilferage on the spot. As many as 622 criminal cases under section of theft were registered and 615 persons were arrested red-handed on these charges. Out of total pilferage, Rs1.534 billion were detected in Lahore, Rs1.196 billion in Sheikhupura and Rs561.63 million in the Fasialabad district. Gas theft of Rs418 million was found in Gujranwala, Rs308 million in Multan, Rs295 million in Gujrat, Rs275 million in Kasur and Rs153 million in Rawalpindi.
Cases were registered against owners of various factories, mills, hotels, plazas, poultry farms, bakeries, petrol pumps, agriculture tubwells, commercial centres and CNG stations.
How these private citizens managed such large theft of gas without any recourse from SNGPL officials was a big question during the campaign, a senior official of TF said.
The document says that during the campaign, Civilian prime agency intelligence (Intelligence Bureau) submitted a list of 121 SNGPL officials to the chief minister Punjab Shahbaz Shairf over thewir involvement in gas theft. The same list was sent to the prime military intelligence agency (ISI) for counter verification. The second agency endorsed the list with the remarks that all officials were living beyond their means and using luxuries not possible in the salaries they were receiving. The agency further maintained that some of them were involved in other illegal activities as well.
Secretary industries, who was also chairperson of the TF, sent a summary to the chief minister over the report, with recommendations to send the list to Chairman Board of Directors SNGPL, Federal Investigation Agency and concerned ministry for initiation of action against and recovery of money they had looted. The chief minister observed that lists should be sent to chairman SNGPL and FIA for action against the corrupt officials without mentioning the source of information.
The list was sent to SNGPL chairman on December 13 with a request to initiate action against the suspect corrupt officials.
SNGPL Chairperson Mian Misbahur Rehman said a committee comprising three senior officials would be constituted for a preliminary inquiry of corruption charges and assessment of financial loss caused by officials. Then a six-member panel would review the committee’s recommendations to ensure justice and action.
Rehman confirmed receiving the list and said that action had not yet been taken against the alleged officials. Rehman said that the delinquents can be fired from their jobs.
