ISLAMABAD: The All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) has claimed that upward revision in the tariff of electricity and petroleum prices will result in increase in the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
The recent price revision has increased difficulties for the masses who were already overburdened in wake of the double-digit inflation, claimed Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha, Chairman Supreme Council APCNGA in a statement.
He said the decision regarding CNG loadshedding should be taken back to avoid impact on the masses.
He said increase in the electricity tariff for the CNG filling stations by Rs.6 per unit should be withdrawn as it had added to problems for the sector.
Ghiyas Paracha said that increased price of power, petrol, diesel and above all increase in dollar value against the local currency have badly damaged all the economy including the CNG sector.
He said the government should immediately reverse the prices or notify new CNG price otherwise owners of the CNG filling stations would be left with no option but to close business, resulting in hardships for the masses.
He said if the government was bent upon steep rise in power prices then it should ensure uninterrupted power supply to the CNG sector.
Paracha said government should end loadshedding of the CNG sector to reduce oil import bill as well as inflation and to boost forex reserves and environment.
