Ban on rickety vehicles running on faulty CNG kits demanded

Steady rise in the incidents of loss of human lives on account of faulty CNG kits in the public transport vehicles calls for immediate ban on such rickety vehicles. Co-ordinator, National Forum for Environment Health (NFEH), President Naeem Qureishi in a statement on Thursday urged the concerned authorities to ensure that only factory fitted CNG vehicles, used as means of public transport, be allowed to ply on city roads and inter-city routes.
There is also an urgency to ensure that a mechanism is developed and strictly followed viz-a-viz fitness of public vehicles in particular and private vehicles in general, he said.
