WE, the poor middle class, are facing a lot of problems pertaining to transport owing to the closure of CNG stations.

It is deeply regretted that neither the provincial nor the federal government bothers to solve our transport problem.

It has become a nuisance because CNG stations are closed five days a week.

It becomes very difficult for us to go to our work places and return home, especially for 70 plus aged people like me, who can neither travel on the footboard of mini-buses nor can afford daily to come and go in rickshaws, which charge exorbitant fares.

Will the federal or the provincial government kindly take some positive steps in this regard as soon as possible?
