Most of the CNG stations in Lahore region remained closed even on the seventh day (Sunday), following consecutive six-day holidays under gas load management programme.
Sui Northern Gas Company had kept the CNG stations closed for consecutive six-days for ensuring uninterrupted supply of gas to the domestic customers, while on the seventh day (Sunday) the CNG stations were required to re-open for 24 hours, but most of the CNG outlet owners preferred not to re-open their outlets for what they say cost-wise it is not profitable for them to sell CNG. Meanwhile, long queue of vehicles were seen at the few CNG stations, which were open.
Motorists and vehicle owners said that they could not afford to run their automobiles on petrol and forced to go through the ordeals to get their CNG cylinders filled.
On the other hand, SNGPL officials said that CNG stations would again be closed as per gas management schedule from Monday morning 6.00 A.M.
The CNG stations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad also remained closed on Sunday, the day when they were scheduled to reopen after three days break. Motorists had lined up at different stations but the owners did not open causing lot of discontentment among the waiting people.
