All Pakistan CNG Association has decided to meet tomorrow (Wednesday) to devise their strategy against the rising trend of CNG prices in the country. Talking to online here on Monday All Pakistan CNG association (APCNGA), Chairman, Ghiyas Paracha said that after recent increase of Rs 6.20 in the price of CNG was unjustified and unfair with the already price stricken masses of the country. He said that this increase would not favor the interest of common man and will boost inflation in the country thus directly affecting lives of masses. Paracha said that it was very unfortunate that government had given the authority to Pakistan State Oil (PSO) to regulate the prices of CNG as with the prices of petroleum products PSO increases the prices of CNG. He said that CNG sector was paying Rs 1110 as tariff while other sectors including industry were paying Rs 510 tariff , therefore, being largest payer government should facilitate CNG sector. Ghiyas Paracha alleged that being a regulator of this sector Oil and Gas regulatory Authority (OGRA) was not working according to its given mandate and behaving like step mother with this important sector.
