Woman gang raped

Staff Report


MULTAN: Two men, including a leader of the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba ( MORE INFO ABOUT THIS SUNNI FUNDAMENTALIST GROUP www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/pakistan/terroristoutfits/Ssp.htm ) , broke into the house of a farmer and allegedly gang raped his wife at gunpoint in Ajnala Village (Sargodha), some 170 miles north of Multan.

“We have registered a case against the men and one of them belongs to a religious organisation,” said Sargodha District Police Officer M Naeem Khan.

According to a police report, Gulzar Ahmed, a member of the Sipah-e-Sahaba, and Allah Ditta befriended Abdul Khaliq and started visiting his house, allegedly abusing Khaliq’s wife in his absence. Khaliq’s wife told him about their intentions and he warned the men, who decided to take revenge. Gulzar and Allah Ditta sent Khaliq to Jauharabad and kidnapped his wife, allegedly raping her. Police have registered a case on the complaint of Khaliq, but the men have not been arrested.

Low gas pressure in Multan: Residents of Multan have not been receiving normal gas supply and the Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Company (SNGPL) has failed to respond to their complaints of low gas pressure.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority has asked the SNGPL to replace transmission lines according to consumption requirements, but the company is doing nothing in this regard. The Walled city, Circular Road, Hassan Parwana Colony, Jalilabad and Khalid Colony experience low gas pressure.

Muazzama Hasnain, a resident, said that she was unable to cook food on time even on Eid. Saeeda Fatima said that the whole area was facing similar problems.

The SNGPL general manager admitted that certain areas in Multan had low gas pressure and the SNGPL was planning to replace pipelines in most of the affected areas, which was delayed because of the lack of funds.

He said that the demand for gas in overpopulated areas had gone up and the company was trying to maximise gas pressure. SNGPL is expanding its network by employing technological, human and organisational resources, he said, adding, “We are installing more operation lines to meet the demand of our customers.” He said that the process would be completed soon.
