LAHORE: Enraged protestors in Lahore blocked Gurumangat Road to record their protest against the gas shortage in the area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per details, protestors in large numbers forcibly entered the SNGPL office after breaking its main gate and chanted slogans against the GM of the company for gas shortage.<\/p>\n

The protestors said they are receiving the bills from the SNGPL but not the gas, which has compelled them to arrange gas at higher rates for cooking.<\/p>\n

Later, the GM of the company negotiated with the protestors and assured them provision of gas at the time of cooking.<\/p>\n

After the assurance, the protestors peacefully left the SNGPL office and dispersed.<\/p>\n
