KARACHI, Feb 16: The Sindh governor, Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan, on Saturday ordered the relevant authorities to take immediate steps for the conversion of auto-rickshaws to CNG and to bring them in conformity to the environmental demands by June 2010.

He also ordered a waiver on penalties imposed in case of a delayed registration.

Dr Ibad was talking to a delegation of Auto-Rickshaw Association, which called on him at the Governor’s House.
