Fact-findin­g report submit­ted to petrol­eum secret­aryISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has not taken any decision yet about action against the managing directors of gas utilities allegedly responsible for the gas crisis. Earlier, the petroleum division secretary had held the managing directors of gas utilities – Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC). “The prime minister has not taken any decision so far about the heads of gas utilities,” Petroleum Division Spokesperson Sher Afgan told The Express Tribune. The committee ratified its earlier decision to impose a ban on the import of furnace oil. Earlier, officials were surprised to learn that despite stocks of 200,000 tonnes, furnace oil was still being imported for consumption in power plants.
