CNG Association for lifting ban on use of generators

ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan CNG Association on Monday demanded for lifting ban on use of generators by CNG outlets to run business during electricity loadshedding.

Chairman Supreme Council APCNGA, Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha in a statement issued here said that the policy to ban use of generators should be reversed.

He said that power breakdowns that left over half of the country in darkness also took toll on the CNG business.

He said that 800 CNG outlets out of 1200 in Region I including Faisalabad, Bhawalpur, and Potohar remained closed due to the failure of the power network.

The closure resulted in additional burden on operational CNG filling stations resulting in longer lines of cars, cabs, and public transport vehicles, he added.

He said the country having largest user base of CNG in the world, with highest number of CNG stations and almost two-thirds of all cars and small commercial vehicles using this fuel deserve a better treatment.

Paracha said that consumers faced problems in getting their vehicles refilled with economical fuel during power loadshedding.
