Two killed in CNG station blast

Two young men were killed in a gas explosion at a CNG station on Sunday.  The blast went off when a gas bottle ruptured in the Punjabi city of Jaranwala.

The two victims -- Yousaf and Suleman -- both station employees, sustained serious injuries and died on the spot. Other staff members were also hurt in the explosion.

Eyewitnesses said the explosion occurred as the gas bottle of a small loading vehicle was being filled at a CNG station. Police officials said the explosion didn't originate in the CNG station infrastructure.
