  1. Fix a good price OGRA so that awaam continue to suffer and the rich CNG station owners become even richer.

  2. Any CNG station refusing to open should have their licenses cancelled by the authorities as they are unable to run their businesses in accordance with orders of the supreme court. SC is the highest law body in the country and we have to follow its orders under all circumstances.

  3. What the hell is OGRA doing wasting so much time. Formula is simple Actual Price on which Gas purchased+ DIrect/Indirect Cost + Taxes+ Profit rate = CNG rate.
