KARACHI: The Hyderabad Chamber of Small Traders and Small Industry (HCST&SI) President, Muhammad Saleem Memon, has appealed to Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) to guarantee a reliable and safe gas supply during the winter months. In a letter addressed to the SSGC managing director, Memon highlighted the seasonal rise in gas demand, which often results in a surge of unlicensed and unsafe gas filling centers in residential areas.
He warned that these unauthorized outlets pose serious safety risks and violate safety regulations. To address this, he proposed establishing official, registered gas distribution points in Hyderabad and nearby areas—similar to those in Karachi—to provide safe, certified gas containers. Such centers would enable convenient access to high-quality gas containers, supported by online registration and ordering services, which would help deter illegal sales.
Memon also recommended rigorous inspection and certification measures to ensure the distribution of only high-quality gas cylinders, prioritizing public safety.
