The federal government has planned to increase gas loadshedding for the compressed natural gas (CNG) filling stations from five days a week to six days in the coming month.
All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) Chairman Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha fears that the decision will close down more than 300 CNG stations in Punjab.
He said thousands were almost on the verge of bankruptcy due to partial supply of natural gas and irrational pricing.
“The number of CNG stations that have closed down has been increasing, creating problems for the consumers, increasing unemployment and decreasing income of the government,” Peracha told the media.
