CNG prices 60% of petrol
Seemingly caving into the demand of the CNG station owners, the government has decided in principle to bring the prices of CNG to 60 per cent of petrol.
Both, the President and Prime Minister issued directives on Thursday that the prices of CNG be reduced.
Minister for Petoleum Asim Hussain said that CNG prices were being reduced by Rs6.24.
Earlier, the Ministry and the All Pakistan CNG Association reached a consensus on pricing and gas outages which helped bring a week long strike by the station owners across Pakistan to an end.
Correction: An earlier version of the article incorrectly mentioned that CNG prices were being reduced to Rs6.34. They are being reduced by Rs6.24. The error is regretted.
