On December 13, Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered that boards of directors of the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and SSGCL be dissolved owing to the prevailing gas shortfall in the country. The premier gave directions for stricter action against the gas suppliers, as the CNG crisis continued to disrupt public transport. A day after ordering a fact-finding committee to launch an inquiry against the managing directors of both SNGPL and SSGCL, the federal government decided to reshuffle the companies\u2019 boards of directors over purported poor performance. On the prime minister\u2019s instructions, the boards of directors of both the companies were dissolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SITE Association chairman announces they
