Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (Paapam) has flayed allowing, in the Trade Policy 2008-09, import of 10 years old CNG buses from India.
Paapam Chairman M A Malik in a statement said that Pakistan would become a junkyard of used machinery as a result of the measures announced in the new Trade Policy because after 5 years the buses used for public transport lose their efficiency and, after 10 years, outlive their utility. After the import of outlived buses, the government would be forced to allow import of spare parts from India to keep them in running condition. -PR
