PESHAWAR:
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Provincial Transport Authority issued a new fare list for CNG operated vehicles on Tuesday, after prices increased on January 1. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) increased the price of CNG to Rs74.44 per kilogramme (kg) in K-P (region 1). The price was revised to Rs69 in Sindh and Punjab (region2). Transporters across the province rejected the Rs12.8 hike in price and passed on the increment to commuters instead.
