CNG customers across the country continued suffering as the strike called by the All Pakistan CNG Association entered its fourth day on Saturday.
Following the unavailability of CNG, petrol and diesel have also become a rare commodity in several parts of the country, including Islamabad and Lahore.
And the situation is yet to turn worse, as petroleum dealers and filling station owners on Saturday threatened to join the strike if the government failed to meet their demands by tomorrow (Monday). The Oil Tankers Association has also decided to join the strike and announced suspending oil supply from Monday.
All Pakistan Oil Tanker Association Punjab Chairman Nadeem Abbas said the association would stop oil supply to all institutions from tomorrow (Monday). He said the association strongly supported the APCNGA strike call that was only for the sake of the people of the country. Abbas said oil supply to all national entities, including airports and other departments, would be suspended for an indefinite period from Monday.
The APCNGA had called an indefinite strike last week against the government’s plan to impose an additional cess on the CNG sector that will drive the commodity’s price to between Rs 95 and Rs 98 per kilogramme. The strike is being carried out in all provinces except Sindh.
A majority of public transport remained off roads, while those continuing service, including rickshaw and taxis owners, did not mind charging extra from the desperate commuters.
In Lahore, roads presented an unusual calm even at rush hours and the only crowds seen were that at the few filling stations having supply of POL products. It was the sixth day without CNG in the provincial metropolis, as the CNG stations had stopped sales on Monday morning per weekly schedule.
The APCNGA had on Friday involved petrol station owners in the protest, asking them to close down stations as the government was not taking any notice of their strike and was apparently unwilling to solve the issue.
In Peshawar, CNG stations remained closed for the third day and commuters faced severe problems. However, a few stations remained functioning in Civil Quarters, on Ring Road and Kohat Road. The situation was not much different in Quetta where a partial strike was observed and long queues of vehicles were witnessed around the few stations that were selling CNG.

This is lawlessness in the country; no rule of law; no heed to the grievances of general public suffering due to high prices of all commodoties; while govt is printing money for its pomp and shows and to keeping on with its lavish style; Gillani and Zardari seem to be the Kings of Pakistan. Their Royal Residences must have loadshedding including the governor houses and CM Houses in all four provinces. Let them suffer as general people are suffering. People insteading of burning tyres on the roads, must visit their residences and do with them the same thing what Amitab Bachhan did in one of his Indian films.
Now include judiciary as well.
what ever the people suffering this ppp government did not care any thing . because its only common public who waste thier hours and hours in queue in order to get CNG.
the ppp government pushing people towards wall . its reponsibilty of government to take action proivde cng to public at affordable price. ppp government discriminating the people of punjab by large scale loadshading and cloure of CNG as compare to other part of country
Man, CNG licences were issued in large number during Mush Govt. That s why gas production has gone down, Dont spread provincialism. This will damage PMLN credibility as a national party and it will lose elections in other provinces.
Man, do not spread provincialism. It will damage PMLN credibility in smaller provinces.
Govt is already careless and no responsibility of the masses as they are only busy in looting and CNG association has added more misery to the already battered people.
turmoil in which we are now will only fuel more anger towards govt.

For court of law, one CNG station or all CNG stations are equal. Court should issue a show cause notice to the CNG association, and if they fail to convince the court of law, suitable action should be taken against them, and after that, if anyone or all of them violates the order of the court, their station should be sealed, heavily fined, and held in contempt of court. Its simple as this, but the question is about the writ of law.
People people people, decisions of the courts aren't changed by protests in civilized countries, unless they are unjust!!
