Central leader of All Pakistan CNG Association Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha on Friday said that CNG stations in Punjab would be reopened from today (Saturday).
He said the CNG stations would be closed for one hour during Sahar timings and for two hours for Iftar bringing timing of operations to 21 hours daily.
After the holy month of Ramadan, CNG would be available for 24 hours a day during Eid holidays and afterwards providing relief to transporters and masses, he said.
Ghiyas Paracha said that two-day delay in re-opening Punjab CNG was due to a technical glitch at the port. He said CNG was 28 percent cheaper than petrol while efforts were underway to make the fuel more affordable.
He said availability of CNG in Punjab would reduce long queues while it will also reduce consumption of petrol. Increased use of CNG will also reduce environmental pollution, he said, adding that the fuel which is economical and clean must be promoted by all the stakeholders. He asked the commercial vehicles to revert to CNG as soon as possible.
