Shutdown of CNG stations twice a week in Karachi
(Salman Ali Zar Muhammad, karachi)
Karachi is the most busy and
densely populated area of Pakistan. It is the hub of Pakistan where
transportation is an important part of life. In Karachi there are a number of
well known CNG stations across all areas.
Due to the shutdown of CNG pumps twice a week in Karachi, the public is facing
many problems and is unable to reach their desired place on time. The
transportation in Karachi is facing a hard time as the employed and working
people who come out of their homes to work face a tough time as buses don’t come
frequently and regularly and also rickshaw and taxi drivers have increased their
fairs inorder to earn their profits. The people who have their personal cars
have to stand in lengthy ques infront of the CNG stations a day prior to the
shutdown. Another addition in the list of troubles is that the days selected for
the shutdown of CNG stations are consecutive working and important days of the
week and it makes the life of a common man hard to get their desired
transportation on time so they try alternate options and travel in buses in a
risky and dangerous manner.
It is therefore requested to the authorities concerned to look into this matter
and try to shutdown the CNG pumps once a week whether it be Saturday or Sunday
so that the life of a common employed man does not get affected by it. Also
kindly decide and announce the shutdown days a day prior by taking help from the
electronic media i.e. news channels and newspapers.
