CNG stations reopen in Lahore region after three months
The gas supply to CNG stations had been suspended in December 2013.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – The supply to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations in Lahore region has been restored after three months after the order of Lahore High Court (LHC).
The supply to CNG stations had been suspended in December 2013 due to gas loadshedding. The LHC had ordered to ensure gas supply to the CNG stations for two days in a week.
According to new gas load management plan issued by the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, the CNG stations will supply gas for 48 hours (Friday 6am to Sunday 6am).
However, despite the announcement, most of the CNG stations in the city remained closed due to technical fault and absence of staff.
Long queues of vehicles were seen at the CNG stations in the early hours of Friday while the citizens lauded the government for restoration of CNG.
The citizens said that the routine life disturbed due to petrol prices and their budget would become balanced after restoration of CNG.
