ISLAMABAD  - The Compressed Natural Gas(CNG) filling stations are witnessing long ques of vehicles these days as the fuel has turned into a rare commodity. A few filling stations of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are providing CNG while others are lying closed following suspension of gas supply as a result of the government’s decision to this effect.Meanwhile, the All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) has rejected the decision of the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet to keep CNG sector at the bottom of the priority list. Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha, Chairman Supreme Council APCNGA said the decision was unacceptable and would be challenged at all forums. He said the least priority to the CNG sector meant that general public would continue to wait for hours in long queues to get CNG.
