Government to ensure uninterrupted supply of natural gas to CNG sector:APCNGA

Lahore: The All Pakistan CNG Association asked the government to review gas loadshedding schedule and ensure uninterrupted supply of natural gas to CNG sector for five days a week.

CNG is the only business in the world which remains closed for 18 days a month while it work partially in the rest of the days due to unprecedented loadshedding pushing us to the brink, said Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha, Chairman Supreme Council APCNGA.

In a statement issued here today, he said that APCNGA has repeatedly given practical recommendation to the caretaker government to resolve the energy issue but unfortunately not a single proposal was accepted.

The proposals, he said, would have added 1500 mw power to the system and made gas available for additional 24 hours a week to the CNG and fertiliser sectors and the general industry, he said.

Ghiyas Paracha said that following the suit of former government, the incumbent government has been taking unilateral decisions which will result in destruction of the CNG sector for which the top functionaries will be responsible.

He said that CNG, fertiliser, general industry and country is being destroyed to promote influential owners of captive power plants which will not be tolerated.

The leaders of the CNG sector said that other sectors have alternatives fuels available and they can store their produce while CNG sector enjoys no such facility.

He said that unjust loadshedding is also taking toll on election related activities but the government is following the unjust gas distribution policies of the former setup which is beyond understanding.

He said that CNG sector is being pushed to the wall for which the sitting government will be responsible.
