A special task force to curb gas and electricity theft arrested 412 pilferers including 378 from Lahore Electric Supply Company Limited (LESCO) and 34 from Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) after detecting a number of electricity and gas theft situations at commercial, industrial and domestic levels. Approximately 193 electricity and 30 gas thieves still remained at large after FIRs were lodged against them. This was stated in a briefing to Lahore Division Commissioner Imdad Ullah Bosal during a meeting at his office Monday. LESCO Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Arshad, SNGPL Chief Engineer M Arshad, Operations DIG Rai Tahir, City SP Jahanzed Khan, Lahore DCO Naseem Sadiq, Sheikhupura DCO Ali Jan Khan, Kasur DCO Syed Javed Iqbal and Law Affair Prosecution Departments Muhammad Mumtaz also attended the meeting. Bosal said that gas and electricity pilferers would be brought to book at every cost because they were not only damaging the LESCO and SNGPL, but the whole nation. He said that the prosecution department must not leave any stone unturned in pursuing cases against these thieves.
