Most CNG stations remain closed
Closure of CNG stations is causing severe hardship to commuters and motorists.
LAHORE: In an attempt to put pressure on the government to increase the per kilo price of the compressed natural gas (CNG), most of the CNG stations remained closed across the country on Thursday.
In Lahore, CNG stations were supposed to reopen today after three days of closure under gas load management plan, however, amid stalemate between CNG association and OGRA, the owners refused to reopen most of the outlets.
A large number of people in the city faced serious problems due to the closure while operational CNG stations complained about a low gas pressure.
In Sindh, long queues of vehicles were witnessed outside CNG stations as gas supply resumed after 24 hours.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well, 70% of the CNG stations remained shut.
