The gas availability situation is deteriorating day by day and it looks like the government is not doing anything to control it; it is actually taking the steps to worsen the situation. There are millions of cars, rikhshaws and autos which run on CNG and now the government has announced to run the CNG busses again so as to provide citizens with low bus fare .At one side the government is saying that we are low on CNG and on the other they are announcing the running of CNG buses. This is an idiotic decision taken at stage where CNG consumption should be curtailed and brought under control. The government should make up their mind whether they have sufficient CNG to fulfil the requirement or not.
It is high time that the government should take proper actions; increasing the CNG price won’t help because the owner of public transport will simply increase the bus fare. So the government should think twice before running the CNG buses and worsening the situation for the people.
