Anti-cng policies : CNG industry to go on strike

ISLAMABAD: The All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) on Wednesday announced that it will launch hunger strike from March 12 to register protest against anti-CNG policies by the government, according to a press statement issued. Addressing a press conference, chairman of the APCNGA Ghiyas Paracha said that protest will be launched against the anti-CNG policies of the government and unjust gas distribution in the country. He said that load shedding in Punjab was being implemented five days a week which was a discriminative attitude of the government. He said that all the concerned departments had been harassing CNG operators while fake cases were being registered against CNG owners to discourage CNG association. Government has been using energy crisis to reap dividends by promoting influential energy mafia which is worst kind of exploitation masses, he added.  Ghiyas Paracha demanded reversal of all the anti-CNG moves, abandoning projects which are to benefit few and reduce gas load shedding duration in Punjab.
