Anwar reported that the Co. has worked hard to cope with the burdens created by Houthi militia and the militia's attempt to take control over the Co. He stated that the militia took control over the gas portion produced from Safer which counted 75 Gas Trailers per day." The militia gave six thousands new licenses of gas trailers and 220 new gas stations, replaced former agents with new ones loyal to the militia", said Anwar.

He stated that the YGC distributes the provinces' portion of cooking gas on the basis of total population of every province, taking into account the movement of Internally Displaced Persons.
