INP
ISLAMABAD – The All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) on Saturday expressed reservations over decision of the government to allow CNG stations in Lahore to resume suspended operations for two days a week.
Lauding the decision of the government, APCNGA central leader Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha said that whole Punjab was suffering from the shortage of fuel therefore CNG stations should be allowed to operate for seven days a week across the province. He said that relief should be provided to all the people of the province going through great ordeal due to paucity of fuel and not only to the residents of provincial capital.
Ghiyas Paracha said that CNG stations in Punjab were closed since November, staff has been laid off and gas utility has removed meters of many outlets which has made it impossible for many CNG owners to resume operations. Moreover, he said that starting operation would mean paying fixed charges on gas and electricity bills which was not possible for majority of financially wrecked CNG owners.
He said that CNG stations across Punjab should be allowed to work for seven days a week so that masses facing acute scarcity of petrol and diesel and CNG for the third consecutive could get some relief.
