ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan Compressed Natural Gas Association (APCNGA) Chairman Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha has denounced the government for keeping Punjab CNG stations closed for the last six months, which has bankrupted the several owners.
Addressing a press conference, Ghiyas Paracha said that the government had promised to resume supply of natural gas to CNG industry on March 15 but it proved to be another broken promise. He said that discontinued supply of natural gas to the CNG station sin Punjab has been contributing to increased oil import bill, pollution, unemployment and hurting investment climate.
Paracha said that massive corruption is going undetected in the garb of suspension of supplies to CNG sector, which is going unnoticed. He said that Prime Minister has assured masses that no one will have to take to streets to get their issues resolved which was not materialised. The leader of the CNG sector said that a powerful lobby wants to frustrate plans of the government to take energy crisis through importing LNG by fixing high prices, which are discouraging for the private sector.
