CNG in public, commercial transport banned

ISLAMABAD: The government has banned filling CNG in public and commercial transport with immediate effect, claims the All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA). “We have received a letter from the OGRA that has banned the filling of those public and commercial vehicles that have CNG cylinders installed under seat or on rooftops,” APCNGA Central Chairman Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha told a press conference on Friday. The association has also decided to close filling stations in Punjab and Potohar region from January 1, in protest against non-resolution of the issues of the CNG sector, he added. Ghiyas alleged that some quarters wanted to introduce LPG in place of CNG, for their personal gains. He also rejected the raise in gas prices, saying it would put extra burden on the masses, which were already groaning under inflation. He also rejected the impression that CNG stations’ owners were earning a profit of Rs 28 per kg, saying they earned a profit of less than Rs 14 per kg. app
