KARACHI: Sindh’s CNG filling stations have resumed their “four days a week” sales operation from Saturday (today), calling off their strike after the regulator agreed to hear their grievances.
“We are scheduled to meet Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority’s (Ogra) chairperson on Tuesday (August 16),” said Ghiyas Paracha, former chairman of the All Pakistan CNG Association.
Office-bearers and members of the association are due to submit a petition to the OGRA chairperson in Karachi, seeking permission to set the fuel price themselves instead of the regulator while also making the sale in litres instead of kilogrammes.
As per the rules and regulations, the OGRA would then hold a public hearing after 15 days from the day of admission of the petition.
“We will accept the authority’s verdict in letter and spirit whether it comes in our favour or not,” he said.
